Browser: Automation

action_browser_automate · action · Utility · Available · v1.0.0

Description

INTERACTIVE multi-step browser automation on a bring-your-own Playwright endpoint: run a SEQUENCE of steps (click, type, wait, navigate, extract) in the same stateful browser session — for flows that need real interaction, unlike the one-shot render nodes.
