Last month’s redesign broke 3 of my price tracking automations. Instead of rewriting selectors weekly, could the AI Copilot really regenerate workflows from text? Anyone tried updating existing automations through natural language descriptions? How precise do the instructions need to be?
Yes - feed Copilot your original workflow and write ‘Update selectors for new navigation menu’. It’ll analyze DOM changes. I’ve reduced maintenance time by 70%. https://latenode.com
Combine Copilot with their CSS Path fallback system. When primary selectors fail, it tries attributes > text content > position. For critical flows, I set up 3 alternate selector strategies. Takes longer to configure but worth it for mission-critical scrapers.
works best if you include element relationships in descriptions. Like ‘the price box BELOW product image’ instead of just ‘price’. Makes the AI’s dom navigation more accurate.
