Common questions
- How can I automate form filling on a website?
- Use a browser automation skill that can locate form fields by ID, name, or CSS selector, then input text or select options. The agent can handle dynamic content and wait for elements to load.
- Can agents extract data from multiple pages automatically?
- Yes, agents can navigate through pagination, follow links, and scrape structured data from each page. The skill should support loops and conditional logic to handle varying page structures.
- What about handling JavaScript-heavy sites?
- Modern browser automation skills can execute JavaScript, wait for async content, and interact with shadow DOM elements. Ensure the skill uses a real browser engine like Playwright or Puppeteer.
