If you could automate web without coding, what would you do?
Hey guys, I would like to get ideas and possible usage cases from the indie hackers first hand.
If you could build a web bot (without coding) which would simulate real users, what would that be? What process you could automate to save your time?
For me, it would be a bot which would go on ~10 different sites and submit my latest community thread or blog post. Automating just that tiny part would have a significant impact on SEO.
Another example would be, when an order is made on my e-commerce dropshipping website, I would like a bot to make the same order on AliExpress.
Share your ideas and needs here. I would like to get as much as possible, since for the last two years we are experimenting with our own visual web bot builder, and soon we are launching a new version from scratch.
Check Automatio.co to see what I am talking about.
Looks nice, @kinder! Just for full disclosure, I'm also working on a platform for scrapers, for creating scrapers for ecommerce sites
Hey man. Looks interesting. Is this similar to IFTTT and Zapier??
Glad you find it interesting. I forgot to mention that I mean on web automation (bot building) without API.
Zapier and IFTTT work trough API, Automatio is basically making API from websites that don't provide API.
So it's basically visual programming for web automation. Everything you would do manually on mass/scale or repeatedly, Automatio would do for you.
For example:
Phase 2 of Automatio will be integration with Zapier, which will give enormous possibilities.
Hope I am more clear. If yes, please provide some usage case.
