Extensions

Robility Extensions are mandatory for utilization of Web Automation feature, allowing bots to interact seamlessly with web applications. These extensions are designed to:

1. Detect and locate all editable UI elements in browsers.
2. Facilitate communication between the Robility application (Designer and Runner) and supported browsers (Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge).
3. Enable bots to perform automation tasks efficiently on web-based applications.

To ensure proper automation, the Robility Extension must be installed and activated in the browser.

How to install the extensions from Robility Designer?

There are two methods to install the extensions from Robility Designer to automate with Web Automation:

During Designer Launch:

When launching Robility Designer, the application automatically checks for the required browser extensions:

1. If the extensions are not detected, a prompt appears requesting installation.
2. Once installed, users must manually enable the extension in their browser settings.
3. Launch Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge after installation, a prompt appears asking for permission to enable the extension.
4. Click “Enable” to activate the extension and allow the automation to function properly.
5. If the prompt does not appear, go to “Extensions” on the browser and enable them manually.

From the Configuration Menu:

If the extensions were not installed during the initial launch, users can manually install them later via Robility Designer:

1. Open Robility Designer.
2. Navigate to the “Configuration” menu on the home screen.
3. Under “Robility Extensions” (on the right-hand side), install the required extensions for your preferred browser.

How to install extensions from Robility Runner?

1. During the installation of Robility Runner, the application validates whether the Robility Automation Extension is available.
2. If the extension is missing, it will be installed automatically without requiring user intervention.
3. However, when launching the browser for the first time, users will see a message prompting them to enable the extension.
4. Click “Enable” to activate it and start using automation on Chrome or Edge.
