When creating a Device Automation workflow, you can open websites in the built-in browser and use action steps to extract information and navigate sites. The built-in browser is based on the Chromium open-source browser project. To navigate, use Device Automation step actions.

Kapow browser supports the following protocols:

• http:
• about:
• javascript:
• https:
• ftp:
• file:

To open a website, insert the Open Step and type the address including the protocol in the URI field. Use the Tree Stops Changing guard after any step that includes loading a page or when other changes occur on a webpage. See Guarded Choice Step for more information.
