Dude, this is awesome. Thank you! I can't wait to test it at work. I already tested it at home and it works just fine. But at work, I need it more ...for now.
Thank you for this video. I'm an Android user who loves Tasker for automating my phone. I've been looking for something similar for my Windows PC, and I think Automa might be just what I need. I'm looking forward to your future tutorials on using Automa to automate my PC since I use Chrome for my works and entertainment.
Thanks for the video. That tool is amazing. I recently watched your Google maps scraping tutorial. It would be great to figure out how to use this in the tool in conjunction with a spreadsheet, full of search criteria and generate a spreadsheet of the resulting leads.
I really like it but I am not sure what to use it for. It seems powerful but can it do loops and run through IDs in a external excel for example to scrape date for more than just one ID? Because I do not see how this does anything faster than I can do it manually? I definitely look forward to seeing more
Explanation is so nice... it looks so simple... trying to do.. we feel the difficulty. Yet nicely done. Crisp to the point. Need some tutorials which help scrape within a workflow and use them for input in different controls like dropdown list, radio buttons, check boxes, expand javascript links to expose hidden data and then scrape. Great tool. Will join you on Skool. All the best.
Hell everyone ive been trying to use automa to force my webmail to select a certain email sender to override the default one but because the button is a tiny button within a larger button the pointer does not see it, it only sees the larger button hiding the smaller one - any suggestions???
Please make more tutorial videos from Automa the resources to learn about it are quite few, can you do some specific cases and share the process so we can learn. Thank you.
And Also one more thing as you can see as soon as you run it. It does not update the existing it creates a new row when you run it is there a way to now let that happen like for example when you first run it only extarcats the name of the product but lateron when you run again it again created a new row and input the rest of the details like the name and all in the next row Hopw you get it what I am trying to say.
Your content is great man, I've learned a lot from your videos. I know you mentioned n8n previously (it's also one of my favorite tools). Do you see this replacing your n8n use cases? Or would you say you mostly use Automa for scraping and n8n for all your other automations?
this is crazy... do you think it is possible to create an extra set of nodes to that amazon scraper automation, to bring in that data onto a website somehow? like, to have dynamic product information updated periodically with this automation, to update the website's data. not sure how efficient this would be. that was just the first idea that came to mind when i saw you explain that amazon scraper lol.
You could have the scraper save the data to a database or even create a simply API.. that would be your source and from there you could create ANYTHING from it.
Looks like a powerful, useful tool! Just a few thoughts. 1. Like all chrome extensions, you have to be careful. Don't want to run some unsafe flows . 2. I dislike those "page load wait" actions. Theres just so much overhead. Can't wait to build automation using AI prompts instead. 3. The browser providers are in a good position to provide this "agent" funtionality since they could train AI models based on all the user interactions.
All points you mentioned already exist since years. For the "wait" action, you have to, because I you go to a website and try to get a specific form field called "name" of the form called "theForm", you have to ensure that the form itself is already loaded on the page, otherwise you'll have a "fail" in the workflow saying that the element does not exist. Also, for the last point, a lot of website has "pages analyzers" where they can generate heatmaps to see users behaviors, etc ... Of course, typing your passwords in this type of workflow must be avoided and prefer developing this kind of logic with code that let you put credentials in "environment files" with key-value pairs and reference them in the code directly.
Excellent video, I am subscribed and I clicked thumbs up! Question: Does this tool send anything to the Internet? I want to make sure that all of my data is local and not going off into some cloud provider running this automation. Can you confirm?
Hey. Great tutorial! Quick question though: how would you use a condition to see if the now price is lower than the previous one and, if it is, notify me? Thanks!
If you're scrapping data to Google sheets, you can create a script inside the Google sheets that will check the difference in pricing every day and detect if the price is lower than previous day, and send you an email
Hey amazing video van you please guide me of i want to run multiple google chrome profiles at once so how can i do that? Actually i want this to automate for my Facebook pages where i can upload fb reels in bulk woth different Facebook accounts

can this work with pahge nation can you make a video showing how to broues pages selecting content , and loopping throght all the pages can this software do that
hey, great video, I tried this and it worked wonderfully but right now I am facing a problem. The problem is that I filled a form using this tool but when I clicked on a button one warning pop up popped on the top of the screen I can't use the click element on that because when I go to the automa to start the select element(target button) so I can select the ok button on the pop up and when I go back to the webpage the pop up disabled. So I tried to use enter key which works when I click but when I use press key for that it doesn't work. Can you help me in this
I am not a professional in this but I want something to make my work easier. Basically I have a paid subscription to a Yoga video website that uses TH-cam streaming and embeds it into their site. I can go into developer mode and easily get the TH-cam video ID and that's the manual way I have been doing so far. I would like to automate that and get the final video playing on TH-cam itself. This is because the platform that I am supposed to watch it on is buggy and disconnects if the streamer has errors, whereas YT is much more robust. It is super annoying cuz it takes like 2 minutes to refresh and get to the stream again while on YT it stays Live.
Hi i'm trying to loop a form search but is not working. It needs to read a name fill the form, do the research, copy some value, and start again with the next name. Can u help me? thanks :)
@@BGdev305 Browser headless mode is a feature that allows a web browser to operate without a graphical user interface (GUI). In headless mode, the browser can perform automated tasks without displaying the web page to the user.
It's great. I have some use cases in my mind. But for that I have some question: 1. Does it have any loop function? Like the one you showed as global variable, can I set an array, then loop through this array with each value. If so, then it will be helpful. Each time changing the variable manually is not realistic use case. 2. Does it offer if else function? like if a variable match a pattern, do something, else do some other thing?
Yes, would be very nice to see how to scrape for example a blog with the same text structure (heading, date, body etc.) on one and the following sites.
Looks extremely interesting I'm definitely going to look into the automa. PS: Do you know anyone that might be interested in a thumbnail design? I've seen a lot of creators that are trying to get their ideas across, but don't have the time to focus on portraying it nor learning about the details and skills that it takes. I'm offering to do a complete analysis of the target audience, already existing audience, personality and idea of the creator. So that I can create this ideal thumbnail with my existing skills, but also the things that I still have to learn.
ive got it to open my google sheets via url...how do i get it to go to and open cell A1 which has a url in it, open the url and then get it to go to A2 and perform that same task again (open url)
One way I think of it is that it can be automated pretty much like the scripts that are made for Logitech or razer gaming mouse, i.e. you can send specific keystrokes that the bot will perform to do what you want. Every specific cell can be reached by entering Ctrl+J, typing the name of the cell, and pressing Enter. From there, Ctrl+C to copy the URL, Ctrl+T to open a new tab, and Ctrl+V to paste the URL, Enter to finish and load the page. It can be further expanded from there
I spent a long time trying to learn microsoft power automate. The software is painfully slow, clunky, and hard to use. Cannot tell you how stoked I am to have found this. Hoping it doesn't go away anytime soon.
Great video. Maybe some of the good marketplace automations you found would be a good video and also ones to use as a ideas for templates or sequence templates.
Hey brother super sick video. This is actually super clutch for my business. That said, do you know if it’s possible to set it up where it can scrape multiple pages at a time. Each page it scrapes would have the same data, so it would need to be able to create multiple rows and put multiple rows into the storage.
Yes, you need to logged in already, then automate it, it uses your browser where everything is already saved, so when you open a website, you will be already logged in in that website cause you already do that before.
I know Automa for a long time but I found it very hard to understand how to make loop scraping and nested scraping link For example, loop all over google drive links, open each link and download the file
