What is Web Automation?
Web automation is the process of automating tasks on the web, such as filling out forms or creating website accounts. It can be used for a variety of purposes, such as reducing repetitive manual tasks or increasing efficiency when performing certain types of tasks on the web.
For example, if you often need to create new website accounts, you can use web automation to fill out the necessary information (e.g., name, email address, password) and click the create account button automatically. This can save you a lot of time compared to doing it manually each time.
In addition to saving time, web automation can also help you avoid errors that can occur when performing manual tasks on the web (e.g., accidentally clicking the wrong button).
