Create Bots & Workflows

Bots in Xenbox are powered by workflows, which define how automations run inside or alongside your browser profiles. Workflows can either launch a browser or connect to an existing one, giving you flexibility in automation control.

1. Creating a New Bot

Step 1

From the Dashboard, click Create New and select Bot.

Step 2

Enter your bot details:

Bot Name: A unique, descriptive name for easy identification.
Description: Short explanation of the bot’s purpose.

Step 3

Choose the Workflow Type:

Launch Workflow
Connect Workflow

2. Workflow Types

Launch Workflow

Starts a new browser instance from scratch.
Runs automation from the beginning of a session.
Closes the browser automatically after success or failure.
Ideal when the bot should fully manage the lifecycle of the browser.

Use launch workflows when you need a clean, isolated session each time.

Connect Workflow

Attaches to a browser you’ve already launched from the Profiles page.
Does not start or close the browser.
Useful for running automations on an already open page (e.g., form-filling, monitoring, repetitive tasks).
Can be scheduled to connect and run tasks at intervals.

Connect workflows are best when you want automation to run without interrupting your manual browsing session.

3. Choosing the Right Workflow

Use Launch Workflows when you need the bot to start fresh each time and handle the browser lifecycle.
Use Connect Workflows when you want to reuse an open browser session for automation.
