Automation Settings

Automation settings allow you to control how your workflows run—ranging from quick toggles in the Control Center to more advanced configurations in the settings panel.

Overview

Automation settings help you:

• Control browser visibility (headless vs UI)
• Manage system power behavior
• Configure execution performance
• Customize browser and automation behavior
• Optimize user experience and reliability

1. Quick Settings (Control Center)

You can access quick automation settings directly from the Control Center.

Step 1: Open Control Center

Locate your workflow and open the Control Center.

Step 2: Click the Gear Icon

Click the ⚙️ gear icon to open Automation Settings.

Available Quick Settings

Show Browser UI (Headless Mode)

• On → Browser is visible during automation
• Off → Runs in headless mode (no browser UI shown)

Use case:

• Turn ON for debugging
• Turn OFF for silent/background execution

Prevent System Sleep

• Keeps your system awake while automation runs
• Ensures workflows continue even if your screen turns off

Lock Type

Defines how the system stays active:

• Display Active
  • Keeps the screen ON
• App Active
  • Keeps the app running while allowing the screen to sleep

2. Advanced Automation Settings

For more control, navigate to:

Sidebar → Settings → Automation Settings

This opens a full configuration panel with additional options.

3. Power Management

These settings control how your system behaves during automation:

• Prevent System Sleep – Keeps the entire system awake
• Prevent Display Sleep – Keeps the screen active

These mirror the quick settings but offer more explicit control.

4. Cross-Profile Extensions

This allows you to reuse browser extensions across profiles.

• When enabled:
  • Extensions from a selected profile are loaded into other profiles during automation
• Useful for:
  • Shared tools
  • Authentication extensions
  • Proxy or scraping extensions

5. Scheduled Jobs Behavior

Control how scheduled workflows behave when the app starts.

6. Browser Settings

Headless Mode

• Enable or disable browser UI (same as quick setting)

Default Viewport

• Set a default browser window size for automation
• Useful for consistent rendering and element targeting

Advanced Browser Configuration

You can define custom Chrome launch arguments.

7. Screenshot Settings

Control how screenshots are captured during automation.

Image Format

• PNG (Recommended) – Higher quality
• JPEG – Smaller file size

Image Quality

• Adjustable using a slider
• Higher quality = clearer images but larger file sizes

8. Typing Speed

Control how fast the automation types into inputs.

• Faster typing

  • More efficient
  • Less human-like

• Slower typing

  • More natural behavior
  • Better for avoiding detection

Best Practices

Debugging

• Enable Show Browser UI when testing workflows
• Use headless mode only after validation

Stability

• Use App Active lock mode for long-running tasks
• Avoid unnecessary system sleep interruptions

Scheduling

• Keep auto-resume disabled to maintain control
• Manually verify jobs before resuming

Performance

• Optimize screenshot quality based on need
• Use appropriate typing speeds for realism

Summary

Automation settings give you full control over how workflows execute:

✅ Toggle headless or visible browser execution
✅ Prevent system or display sleep
✅ Manage scheduled job behavior
✅ Configure browser and extensions
✅ Optimize screenshots and typing behavior
