If you need to automate actions on your Browsers, thanks to Automaton you can do it with extreme simplicity. Thanks to this extension for Chrome and Firefox, completely free, you can create any type of automation on yours Browsers.
What can I do with Automa?
What do we mean by automations of all kinds on your own Browsers? Let's take as an example one of the workflows (as they are called i jobs) presets that you can find as soon as you install this extension. The workflow is called Generate lorem ipsum. This job, once performed with a simple button, will perform a series of previously preset actions. In this case what it will do is:
- open a new tab by automatically going to the site lipsum.com;
- scroll the screen down a little;
- wait a second;
- insert the number 3 instead of 5 in the form on the number of paragraphs necessary;
- click the “ buttonGenerate Lorem Ipsum“;
- repeat the operation two more times.
This is obviously, as mentioned, just a test operation inserted within the extension to understand its functioning and functionality a little.
Endless possibilities
The possibilities of this extension are almost endless. There are in fact many blocks and they pass from the execution of something on the Browsers such as opening a new window or pressing the back button, up to pressing buttons or using online services such as Google Drive.
You can enter data, execute JavaScript, scroll pages, capture text and put it into the clipboard, press link, reload pages, remove Cookies, take a screenshot and much more.
The only brake is really your imagination.
To use Automaton you need to install the extension Open source available for both Firefox and Chrome/Brave. Once installed it will all be very intuitive, however you can read the documentation and look at how they were built workflow defaults and try to copy them as per your needs. There is also a section dedicated to tutorials.
