How does WebAutomation package work?

Web automation can be used to automate any activities that we perform in a web page or a web-based application. Web Automation helps us to reduce time, effort, and cost. Whilst reducing manual errors, it gives us more time to focus on primary objectives.

Consider manual tasks like filling out forms, screen scraping, data extraction, data transfer between applications, determining the existence of a specific element, navigating within browsers for various actions, refreshing, going back, or forward to a webpage during a process, getting the attributes of any element, feeding JavaScript into any webpage, and many others. Consider doing these repetitive tasks daily. It takes time and doing the same thing over and over would become monotonous.

These are some of the tasks that we can automate in a webpage using the web automation feature of our designer.
