@tufan_gok1 indeed there is a bunch, from SEO to lead generation! Happy to take some time together if this is something that might help Adyouneed ;)
@tufan_gok1 Thanks for your feedback. Indeed, there are a lot of use-cases around growth and we are going to communicate more clearly on that in the coming version of our website.
I use something similar called https://wayscript.com/ (took me 16 emails and 10+ minutes to find out the lost name), but I'm curious to try this out. ?makers
Let's see!
Love the product, can't wait to have a go at it! Quick question: Can the API be used to create automation "flows" programmatically or is it just used to run them? ?makers Cheers <3
@theo_champion Hey Théo, glad you love the product. We do not provide a way to edit workflows programatically yet but it is a very interesting idea. Do you have a specific use-case in mind ?
The product smells completely quality. Even when I think about how its code could be written, I get drowned in parameters. So be it halal, good project. I love it. 👏
Interesting. Is the mini window on the top right streamed or is the url loaded on an iframe? . asking because not all websites allow embedding within an iframe.
@vghanand Yep. Website is streamed and you can still interact with the page to select elements or input data
Hi everyone,
We are excited to launch a brand new version of Dashblock that allows you to build web automations without coding and run them from an API.
You can collect data and perform actions on any website, even when authentication is needed. Some use-cases you can easily solve :
- Collect data in real-time
- Monitor your competition
- Fill forms and book appointments
- Automatically checkout products
- Download invoices or reports
- Generate leads automatically
- Test your website
We also provide third-party integrations (Zapier, Slack, Google Sheets...) to plug your automation with existing APIs.
Behind the scenes, we use a proprietary ML model that can identify elements on web pages and make your automation resilient to html updates. You don't need to use CSS Selectors or XPath again !
@hugues_pouillot1 great interface !!! I am testing it since this morning. Great jobs guys. I will save so much time now. 🙏
?makers Love the Idea but for heavy javascript based website I could need a "waitForSelector" component. Any plans on adding anything like this?
@tobias_thiele Hey Tobias, thanks for checking us! We deal with this automatically so you should not need such component : happy to chat about this and demo the platform to you if you want to 👉 https://calendly.com/dashblock-t...
This is really cool! How does it perform with single page apps or content that’s rendered after the initial page load?
@john_coschigano Thanks John, we are rendering websites inside a real browser, so you will see the whole page :)
Really excited to try this tool out, maybe to automate checking for open campsites at my favorite spots! Thanks for building!
@andrew_monitask Thanks for your feedbacks, we are actually working on tutorials right now, i hope you'll enjoy them !
Looks like this could be used to connect to data entry system and flow together faster then having two teams integrate. Would only require one team to integrate to consume the new API.
@sal_iozzia Indeed, you can create your own application as well and create applications or workflows based on those integrations. Happy to chat if you want to discuss custom integrations.
Primarily meant for automating internal processes? Any chance it has change recognition if the DOM shifts? Great job!
@drawbridgescott Hi Scott, thanks for your feedback. If the website updates, your automation won't break : we developed a Machine Learning model that is resilient to DOM changes. You just have to point the elements in the browser and the model will learn from your examples.
This new version is beyond awesome !! I was using the v1 to collect bills for my clients and now I can do it without even having to type one line of code. Full support
@olivia_villemin Hey Olivia, thank you for your support, glad to hear you like the new platform :)
Awesome product ! Super quality and flexibility ! I recommend it. Congratulation for this nice job 👌🏼
Awesome product guys. Can't believe you've improved the product so much between v1 and v2.
@sanket_makhija Thanks Sanket !! Feel free to share your feedbacks once tested !
