How to automate Browse AI with Zapier

Connecting Browse AI to Zapier lets you turn web scraping into a hands-free workflow that sends fresh data directly into your favorite apps. This step-by-step guide walks you through creating a complete automation, from setting up your robot in Browse AI to building a Zap that uses the scraped data.

The instructions below are based on the official Browse AI and Zapier integration walkthrough so you can follow along with confidence.

What you need before you start with Zapier

Before building your automation, make sure you have a few basics ready. Getting these in place first will make the Zapier setup much easier.

  • A Browse AI account with at least one robot you can configure
  • A Zapier account (free or paid, depending on usage)
  • Access to the website or web app you want to monitor or scrape
  • Destination apps for your data, such as Google Sheets, Airtable, Notion, Slack, or email

If you are still comparing automation platforms or building a broader workflow strategy, you can explore additional guides and optimization tips at Consultevo.

Step 1: Create and train your Browse AI robot

Your automation starts in Browse AI. The robot you build there becomes the trigger for your Zapier workflow.

Set up your robot in Browse AI

  1. Log in to your Browse AI dashboard.

  2. Click the option to create a new robot.

  3. Enter the URL of the page you want to scrape or monitor.

  4. Let Browse AI load the page in its visual interface.

Train the robot to capture data

Use Browse AI’s point-and-click tools to define exactly what you want to extract.

  1. Select elements on the page you want to capture, such as product names, prices, job titles, or table rows.

  2. Label each field so you can easily recognize it later inside Zapier (for example, “Product Name”, “Price”, “Job URL”).

  3. Choose whether the robot should capture a single record or a list of repeating items.

  4. Run a test extraction inside Browse AI to make sure the data looks correct.

Once your robot is trained and tested, you are ready to connect it to Zapier as a trigger.

Step 2: Connect Browse AI to Zapier

Next you will create a Zap that starts whenever your Browse AI robot runs. This lets you send scraped data into other tools with no extra work.

Create a new Zap in Zapier

  1. Sign in to your Zapier account.

  2. Click Create Zap from your dashboard.

  3. In the Trigger search bar, type Browse AI and select it.

Choose a Zapier trigger event

Zapier offers several trigger events for Browse AI depending on your use case:

  • New Task Completed: fires when your robot finishes a run.
  • New Task Failed: fires if a run fails, useful for monitoring and alerts.
  • Any other Browse AI trigger options available in your account.

Pick the trigger that matches how you want Zapier to respond to your robot’s activity. In most web scraping workflows, New Task Completed is the best place to start.

Link your Browse AI account to Zapier

  1. When prompted, click Sign in or Connect a new Browse AI account in Zapier.

  2. Zapier will open a window asking for your Browse AI API key or authorization.

  3. In another tab, open your Browse AI dashboard and find your API key in the account or integrations section.

  4. Copy the key, paste it into the Zapier connection window, and confirm.

After connecting, Zapier will list your available robots so you can choose which one should drive the automation.

Step 3: Configure your Zapier trigger

Now you will tell Zapier exactly which Browse AI robot and task settings to use whenever the Zap runs.

Select your robot and task

  1. In the trigger configuration, choose the specific Browse AI robot you created earlier.

  2. If prompted, pick the type of task or scenario, such as monitoring a page, extracting from a list, or tracking changes.

  3. Set any filters the integration offers, like task names or project categories, so Zapier triggers only for the runs you care about.

Test the Zapier trigger

  1. Click the Test trigger button in Zapier.

  2. Zapier will look for recent Browse AI task data from the selected robot.

  3. If no recent task is found, go back to Browse AI, run your robot manually, then test again in Zapier.

Once Zapier successfully pulls in sample data, review the fields to make sure your robot is sending everything you need. You should see labeled outputs like titles, links, prices, or any custom fields you created.

Step 4: Add Zapier actions to send your data

With the trigger configured, you can now decide what should happen with the scraped data. This is where Zapier turns Browse AI output into a complete workflow.

Choose your first action app in Zapier

Common destinations for Browse AI data include:

  • Google Sheets for logging and basic analysis
  • Airtable or Notion for building lightweight databases
  • Slack or Email for alerts when new data appears
  • CRMs and marketing tools for lead capture and enrichment

  1. In the Action step of your Zap, search for the app you want to use.

  2. Select a suitable event such as Create Spreadsheet Row, Create Record, or Send Channel Message, depending on the app.

  3. Connect your chosen app account to Zapier if you haven’t already.

Map Browse AI fields to your action

Zapier’s field mapping controls where each piece of scraped data goes.

  1. In the action setup, click into each field (for example, spreadsheet columns or message body).

  2. From the dropdown, select the Browse AI data you want, such as product names, URLs, prices, or timestamps.

  3. Combine static text with dynamic fields to create readable messages or rows.

  4. Use additional Zapier steps—like formatters or filters—if you need to clean or conditionally route the data.

Run a test action so Zapier sends sample data to your chosen app. Check that the values land in the correct columns, fields, or channels.

Step 5: Turn your Zapier automation on

After testing both the trigger and actions, you are ready to activate the workflow so it runs automatically.

  1. In the Zap editor, review each step to confirm connections and field mapping.

  2. Give your Zap a clear name, like “Browse AI product scraper to Google Sheets”.

  3. Toggle the Zap from Off to On.

From now on, whenever your Browse AI robot completes a task, Zapier will pick up the new data and push it into your selected apps without manual work.

Use cases for Browse AI and Zapier

Here are some practical ways teams use this integration:

  • Price monitoring: scrape competitor prices and send them into a spreadsheet or Slack channel on a schedule.
  • Job listing tracking: monitor career pages and have Zapier create records in Airtable whenever new roles appear.
  • Lead generation: capture contact or listing data from directories and send it to your CRM.
  • Content research: collect article titles or rankings and push them into a database for analysis.

Because Zapier supports thousands of apps, you can chain additional steps—like filters, paths, or enrichment tools—to build more advanced automations without code.
