A workflow with browser steps operates a website like a person. Whoever starts it with a button on a dashboard or through an AI Colleague in the chat wants to see what happened. Switch on ‘Show screenshots to the person who starts it’ in the browser session: the screenshots then appear in the editor per step, live under the button, on a tile and under the answer in the chat. Only the person who started the run sees them, never through an open link, and every time someone looks at one, it is in the audit log.

Switch the screenshots on for whoever starts it

Open the workflow and click the browser session. ‘Show screenshots to the person who starts it’ is off by default: a screenshot shows everything the browser saw. Switch it on when that is fine for the people who start the workflow, and save.

Press the button on the dashboard

On the dashboard the button starts the same workflow, for you. Under the button you see the steps run and the screenshots arrive as soon as they are taken; then the answer as a table. The tile next to it shows the screenshots of your latest run.

Step 5 / 5

Ask your AI Colleague in the chat

When an AI Colleague uses the workflow as a tool, the screenshots are under its answer: small, with the name of the step, and large with a click. They already arrive while it works.
