Not all data can be accessed directly. In many cases, you may need to interact with the target webpage to access the data you need, such as logging in, searching with keywords, or even clicking through a dropdown menu.

This tutorial will teach you how to take advantage of the auto-detect feature by adding the extra steps manually before running the auto-detect process.


1. Create a new task

  • Enter the webpage URL into the search bar.

  • Click Start


2. Interact with the webpage to add the necessary steps

The auto-detect process will start once the web page is loaded in the built-in browser.
