alternative to browse.ai

[jolanc]

hello
i want to automate a process that i do everyday on a old website.

i have to go to that website(with iframe), click a few button to choose the time range, and an csv file will be ready for me to download. I would like to capture that file and do some data work. If i use "shift+click" the button, i can see the file is actually stored in a dynamic url like https://storage.googleapis.com/xxx/xxx.csv

I realize that browse.ai might be the best app that i can use to do this, but unfortunately they dont support iframe. Is there other app or internal task that i can use to do so? considering there is no api/webhook call that i can obtain from the legacy site.

Thankyou very much!

Hey @jolanc, we don't support iFrames yet, but there might be a workaround. Some of our users right-click on an iFrame in Chrome, inspect it, find out the iFrame's URL, and then record a task directly on that URL:

This workaround works only if the iFrame can be accessed directly using a dedicated URL. If the iFrame does not have a `src` attribute in HTML, or if when you open that URL directly it doesn't show the content, this workaround may not work.

Let me know if this solves the issue for you!
