Automa
What is this?Automa is a browser extension that automates your browser by connecting blocks into workflows — auto-fill forms, take screenshots, repeat tedious tasks, or scrape website data.
Is this something I install into my browser?Yes — it's a browser extension for Chrome and Firefox, distributed through the Chrome Web Store and Firefox Add-ons; developers can also load a locally built copy.
How do I get it running?Install it from the Chrome Web Store or Firefox Add-ons. From source: run yarn dev or yarn build, then load the automa/build directory as an unpacked (Chrome) or temporary (Firefox) add-on.
Any pitfalls before the local build works?Yes — yarn dev and yarn build fail until you create the getPassKey.js file inside src/utils; the README shows what to write in it.
Do I need to write code to build an automation?No — you build automations visually by connecting ready-made blocks; that block-based approach is the whole idea, so typical tasks need no programming.
Can I use workflows made by other people?Yes — the Automa marketplace is where users share and download workflows, so you can grab ready-made automations instead of building your own from scratch.
Can automations run on a schedule?Yes — besides running tasks manually, you can schedule when an automation executes, one of the use cases the README highlights.
Can a workflow become its own Chrome extension?Yes — the Automa Chrome Extension Builder (Automa CEB) generates a standalone Chrome extension from a workflow; its documentation is linked from the README.
What are similar projects?EasySpider, firecrawl, maxun, SeleniumBase, nopecha-extension, BrowserKitten, DrissionPage, skyvern
