What is the Browser Connection?

The Browser connection gives your assignments the ability to navigate websites, interact with web applications, and perform actions in any browser-based system—just like a human would. This is a system-managed connection that's automatically available for all your Duvo assignments.

What Can It Do?

The Browser connection enables your assignments to:

• Navigate websites: Go to any URL and browse web pages

• Fill out forms: Enter data into text fields, dropdowns, and other form elements

• Click and interact: Click buttons, links, and interactive elements

• Extract information: Read and capture data from web pages

• Handle authentication: Log into websites using stored logins from My Logins

• Multi-step workflows: Complete complex sequences of actions across multiple pages

Why This Matters

Many business systems exist only as web applications—internal portals, legacy systems, vendor platforms, and specialized tools that don't offer API access. The Browser connection allows your assignments to work with these systems the same way a human would, opening up automation possibilities for virtually any browser-based workflow.

When to Use It

Use the Browser connection when your assignment needs to:

• Access internal systems: Work with company portals, HR systems, or internal tools

• Interact with vendor platforms: Place orders, check status, or retrieve information from supplier websites

• Handle legacy systems: Automate tasks in older systems that lack modern integrations

• Gather web data: Extract information from websites as part of a larger workflow

• Complete web-based processes: Fill out applications, submit forms, or complete multi-step web workflows

How It Works

When your assignment needs to interact with a website, it uses the Browser connection to open a secure browser session. The assignment can then navigate, click, type, and interact with the page just as you would. If the site requires login, the assignment uses logins stored in My Logins to authenticate securely.

Key Benefits

Universal access: Work with any website or web application, regardless of whether it has an API

Human-like interaction: Perform the same actions a person would—no technical integration required

Secure authentication: Use stored logins to access protected sites without exposing passwords

Visual verification: Assignments can see and respond to what's on screen, handling dynamic content and unexpected situations

Flexible automation: Automate virtually any browser-based task without custom development

The Browser connection is essential for organizations with diverse web-based systems, enabling automation across your entire technology landscape.
