What it is

Use a pre-made script to interact with websites automatically using TypeScript and Puppeteer.

Real use case example

"A founder, Emily, creates an automation using Browsertrix-behaviors to track customers who complete specific training modules on her company's website. She sets up a script to run in the background, which interacts with the site and sends a Slack notification every time a customer completes the required action. Emily can then prioritize follow-up tasks based on these notifications."
