Get Started with Browse AI in Zapier
Connecting Browse AI with Zapier lets you turn web data into automated workflows in just a few steps. This guide walks you through how to set up the integration, link your accounts, and start using robots to scrape or monitor websites without writing code.
What you need before you start with Zapier
Before building automations, make sure you have the right accounts and access set up. This ensures your Browse AI and Zapier connection works smoothly.
- A Zapier account with access to the Zap editor.
- A Browse AI account.
- At least one robot created in Browse AI, or the ability to create a new robot when prompted.
- Access to the website you want to monitor or scrape, including any required logins.

How the Browse AI and Zapier integration works
The Browse AI app in Zapier gives you triggers and actions that let you move data between web pages and other apps. At a high level, the integration works like this:
- Browse AI robots scrape or monitor a website.
- Data and events from Browse AI are sent to Zapier.
- Zapier uses that data to run actions in other tools such as spreadsheets, CRMs, or databases.
This setup turns complex web scraping into reusable automation you can manage directly from your Zapier dashboard.
Connect your Browse AI account to Zapier
The first step is to link Browse AI with Zapier so they can share data securely.
Step 1: Add Browse AI in the Zap editor
- Log in to your Zapier account.
- Click Create and choose New Zap.
- In the trigger or action app search bar, type Browse AI and select it.
Zapier will now prompt you to connect your Browse AI account if you have not done so previously.
Step 2: Authorize the Browse AI connection
- In the account connection window, click Sign in to Browse AI.
- A new window opens asking for your Browse AI credentials or login method.
- Approve access so Browse AI can send data to Zapier and receive configuration details for your robots.
Once authorization is complete, your Browse AI account will appear as a selectable connection in Zapier. You only need to do this once per account.
Use Browse AI triggers in Zapier
Browse AI triggers in Zapier start your workflows whenever a robot finishes a task or detects new data. Typical examples include scraping a new dataset or monitoring a page for changes.
Choose a Browse AI trigger event
- In the Zap editor, set the trigger app to Browse AI.
- Open the Event dropdown list.
- Select the Browse AI trigger you want to use, such as a finished task or a monitoring event.
- Click Continue.
The available trigger events may include options like task completion or updated monitoring results, depending on the current Browse AI feature set in Zapier.
Select your Browse AI account and robot
- Choose the connected Browse AI account you want to use.
- Click Continue.
- From the Robot dropdown, pick the robot that should trigger the Zap.
- Configure any additional fields or filters available for that trigger.
- Click Continue again.
Zapier now knows which robot to listen to so it can start the workflow when that robot runs.
Test your Browse AI trigger in Zapier
- Click Test trigger in the Zap editor.
- Zapier will request the latest sample data from Browse AI for the chosen robot.
- Review the returned fields to confirm they match the information you expect from your scraping or monitoring task.
If no data appears, make sure the robot has run recently in Browse AI, then test again. Once the trigger looks correct, you can move on to setting up the action side of your Zap.
Use Browse AI actions in Zapier
Browse AI actions in Zapier let your workflow create or run robots directly from other events. Instead of waiting for a robot to trigger the Zap, another app can start a robot on demand.
Choose a Browse AI action event
- In the same Zap or a new one, select Browse AI as the action app.
- Open the Event dropdown.
- Pick the action event, such as running a robot on a schedule or on demand.
- Click Continue.
Each action event controls how and when Browse AI robots will run in response to events from other Zapier apps.
Configure the Browse AI action in Zapier
- Select the connected Browse AI account.
- Choose the specific robot you want to run from the Robot dropdown.
- Map any input fields from previous Zap steps (for example, URLs, search terms, or IDs).
- Set optional configuration values such as run frequency or limits, if available.
- Click Continue.
These mappings tell Browse AI how to execute the robot each time the Zap runs, using dynamic data from earlier steps.
Test the Browse AI action from Zapier
- Click Test step or Test action in the Zap editor.
- Zapier sends a request to Browse AI with your configuration.
- Confirm that the robot runs successfully in Browse AI.
- Check that the returned data appears in the Zap test results and displays the fields you need for later steps.
If the test fails, review your robot settings in Browse AI and verify that all required fields are populated correctly in Zapier.
Build a complete workflow with Zapier and Browse AI
Once your triggers and actions are working, you can chain additional steps in Zapier to send data from Browse AI into other apps.
- Send scraped data to spreadsheets or databases.
- Create or update CRM records from monitored web pages.
- Post alerts in chat tools when monitored pages change.
- Combine multiple apps in one Zap for end‑to‑end automation.
Each new step in the Zap can use fields extracted by Browse AI robots, letting you create rich automations driven by live web data.
Troubleshooting the Browse AI and Zapier connection
If your integration is not working as expected, use these checks:
- Verify that your Browse AI account is still connected in your Zapier account settings.
- Confirm the robot has run at least once so sample data is available.
- Check that required fields in the Zap action are mapped correctly.
- Review error messages returned in Zapier test results for hints.
- Ensure any websites you scrape are accessible and not blocking requests.

Next steps with Zapier automation
After you have a basic workflow running, you can expand your use of Zapier by:
- Adding filters so Zaps run only when data meets specific conditions.
- Using paths to create branches based on results from Browse AI.
- Combining multiple robots in the same Zap to gather data from different websites.
- Scheduling Zaps so robots run at the ideal time for your team.
By combining Browse AI robots with flexible automation in Zapier, you can turn almost any website into a live data source for your business tools, all managed through a simple, no‑code interface.
