Blocks

There are six categories of blocks in Automa:

General: Perform a general action in the workflow, like making an HTTP request or executing another workflow.
Browser: To control the browser.
Web Interaction: To interact with the active tab of the workflow. Before using blocks in this category, you need to use a New Tab or Active Tab block.
Control Flow: Add logic to the workflow.
Online Services: Services that integrate with Automa.
Data: Modify or manipulate workflow variables or tables.

Block Settings

The blocks come with a menu and settings that can be configured.

To find the block menu, hover your mouse over a block in the editor canvas, and it will appear on top of the block.

Delete: delete the block
Block settings: open the current block settings
Move block to group blocks: move the block to the Group blocks by dragging this icon.
Enable/disable block: toggle deactivate block
Run: run the workflow from the current block
Edit: access the block properties, or you can double-click on the block.

You also right-click at the block to find more menus.
