Unlock Web Automation Power: Display Dynamic Pages, Secure Login Scripts, and Enhance Digital Signage Performance!

How to use Web Automation App



With the Web Automation App you can display dynamic webpages. It provides you with the option to close popups you don't want to display on websites, and being able to display content locked behind login screens. We recommend you keep the number of Web Automations inside a series to a minimum due to performance loss.

It's important to note that the recorded script will be stored encrypted in our database, so your login details are stored securely.

We also recommend you to use the Google Chrome browser, for displaying your preferred websites.
