Hi


Is it possible to do basic browser automation with Tasker?


I will give an example to what I need:

Assume there is some browser open (I am flexible regarding which browser it can be),
so Tasker will be able to:

- Get the current webpage's URL
- Read the Text content of a Textbox on the webpage
- Set the Text content of a Textbox on the webpage
- Click a button


Is that possible with Tasker?


Thank you

This is possible using AutoInput's UI State context.

- Set the Text content of a Textbox on the webpage
- Click a button 

None of these are possible AFAIK.

I forgot to mention that AutoInput's UI Query action can also get the page's URL.

Hi,

You can also get the URL from the AutoShare plugin.

Check out the AutoTools website / forums, there's a ton of stuff that these plugins can do and some of them may be able to help.
