Get Robots List
This tool retrieves a list of all robots under your account in browse ai. each robot represents an automated task that can be trained to perform various web operations like opening webpages, logging in, clicking buttons, filling forms, extracting data, and monitoring changes. it is useful for: - getting an overview of all your automated tasks - checking the status of your robots - retrieving robot ids for use with other api endpoints - monitoring when robots were last updated or created
Why this helps
Choosing among existing automation tools can take longer than the small research task you need to complete.
- Retrieve the available robot list when a topic is created.
- Compare robot descriptions with a research need you specify.
- Keep robot discovery separate from launching tasks.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Browse AI once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in plain language or in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
- 3Ask Notis to retrieve the robot list and compare descriptions to the topic's stated research need.
- 4Pick New Canvas Discussion Topic as the trigger, then choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real topic.
Questions about this workflow
Will this run the recommended robot?
No. This action retrieves the robot list only. Use a Run Robot action in a separate workflow to start a robot.
What if robot descriptions are unclear?
Notis can only compare the information returned with the criteria in your instruction. Add useful selection criteria or improve robot descriptions in Browse AI.
