Browser Open



This action opens a new browser window or a new browser tab if the specified browser is already open. To select an existing browser window, use the “Window select” action instead.


Each browser slightly differs in automation-ability and if automating in one browser proves to be a challenge, try automating the process in another browser.


This action automatically selects the browser window and action “Window select” is not required afterwards unless there are multiple browsers of the same type open at the same time. Advanced users can optimize browser functionality using browser-specific parameters in the application settings.

Automation sheet parameters:

  1. Browser – select one of the 4 main browser types: Edge, Google Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer
  2. URL – enter the starting URL or leave the field empty to open the default website

When URL is specified, application automatically waits for the page to load (Same as using action “Process pause – While header motion detected”)


Action parameters window: N/A
