Questions about this workflow
Will the session open the event's links automatically?
Starting a browser session allocates an isolated browser instance. Opening pages or performing additional work requires a separate supported action.
Can I specify session customizations?
The Start Browser Session action supports optional customizations. Describe the desired options in your instruction.
