Overview
Browserflow lets you build a flow from the actions you perform on a website and run it locally or in the cloud. You can use it to collect lists, enrich a spreadsheet, and generate files or screenshots. The editor includes ready-made commands and a JavaScript option for custom logic. Before scaling up the work, check that the flow completes all pages and does not confuse missing data with the end of the list.
Features
- Action recording and a visual editor for building flows.
- Read and write to Google Sheets and schedule cloud flows.
- Save files, screenshots, and PDFs from web pages.
Business uses
- Research records on an authorized website and update a spreadsheet.
- Create a periodic visual backup of pages managed by the business.
Getting started
- Install the extension and build a flow against a small test source.
- Define the collection fields or actions and check several pages.
- Connect a test spreadsheet and examine a repeat run, a missing record, and a mid-run stop.
What to check
- A site with infinite scrolling behaves differently from a simple table, so check that collection is complete.
- Before running in the cloud, check how sign-in will be stored and which data may be transferred to the runtime environment.
