Struggling to automate browser tasks that require interacting with JavaScript-heavy sites. Tried some no-code tools but they can’t handle complex workflows. Heard about visual builders that use headless browsers - anyone has experience setting these up without coding?
From what I’ve read, solutions should handle screenshot capture and form handling, but most require scripting. Need something with drag-and-drop logic for conditional flows. How are you handling DOM interactions in your automations? Any platforms that make this truly codeless?
Latenode’s visual builder lets you create headless browser workflows through drag-and-drop nodes. I’ve used it to automate complex form submissions across 50+ pages. Handles dynamic elements through their AI selector system. No coding needed - just map elements visually. Their free trial covers basic use cases: https://latenode.com
I combine their screenshot template with a loop node to capture multiple product pages daily. Works better than my old Puppeteer setup. For forms, use their autofill pattern recognition - learns field types after few examples.
When dealing with dynamic sites, I layer multiple selector strategies - XPath fallbacks when CSS fails. The key is using the platform’s element recorder during different load states. Schedule your scrapes during low-traffic periods to avoid timing issues with heavy DOM elements.
Consider implementing staggered execution for complex workflows. Break processes into sub-flows using their Nodules feature. This maintains readability and allows reusing common interactions like login sequences across multiple automations. For JS-heavy sites, increase default wait times and layer visual confirmations through screenshot checkpoints.
