Quick Start Guide

In the app's sidebar, under Create, click Visual Studio, or go directly to:

You'll see an empty canvas, with the node library on the left containing all available nodes.

Every workflow needs a trigger to start execution. For this example, we'll use a Manual Trigger:

1. Open the "Triggers" tab in the node library on the left
2. Drag the Manual trigger node onto the canvas
3. This node starts the workflow when you click the "Run Workflow" button

Now add a browser node to navigate to a website:

1. Open the "Browser" tab in the node library
2. Drag the Open Page node onto the canvas
3. Connect the Manual Trigger to the Open Page node (drag from the trigger's output handle to the Open Page input handle)
4. Click on the Open Page node to open its configuration panel
5. Enter a URL, for example: https://example.com

Let's extract the page title:

1. Drag the Extract Text node onto the canvas
2. Connect the Open Page node to the Extract Text node
3. Click on Extract Text to configure it
4. In the Element Selector field, enter: h1
5. In the Variable Name field, enter: pageTitle

This will extract the text from the first <h1> element on the page and store it in a variable called "pageTitle".

Before running, save your workflow:

1. Type a name, like "My First Automation", in the workflow name field at the top left of the toolbar
2. Open the "Save" menu next to it
3. Choose "Save" (or "Save As..." to save a copy under a new name)

Time to run your automation!

1. Click the Run Workflow button in the centre of the top toolbar
2. Watch as each node executes in sequence
3. The browser (your local Chrome or the Cloud Browser session) navigates to the URL and extracts the text
4. Green checkmarks will appear on successfully completed nodes
