Why automate Browseract with n8n?
The BrowserAct n8n integration gives you access to 1 action that executes browser automation workflows on demand. This means you can trigger complex browser tasks—like web scraping, form filling, or UI testing—as part of larger automated processes. Instead of running BrowserAct workflows manually or on fixed schedules, you can now execute them dynamically based on events from any of n8n's 400+ integrated applications.
The benefits are substantial. Significant time savings: no more logging into BrowserAct to manually trigger workflows. Your n8n automation handles it automatically when conditions are met. Event-driven execution: connect BrowserAct to triggers from your CRM, email, databases, or webhooks. A new lead in HubSpot? Automatically run a browser workflow to gather company data. Centralized orchestration: manage your browser automations alongside your other business processes in one unified n8n canvas.
Concrete use cases include: automatically scraping competitor prices when inventory updates, running browser-based QA tests when code is deployed, extracting data from web portals after receiving notification emails, or populating web forms with data from your CRM. The BrowserAct n8n combination transforms isolated browser tasks into components of sophisticated business automations.

Browseract actions available in n8n
01 Action 01Run a Workflow
The Run a Workflow action is the core functionality of the BrowserAct n8n integration, allowing you to execute any BrowserAct workflow directly from your n8n automation. This action essentially bridges n8n's orchestration capabilities with BrowserAct's browser automation engine, letting you trigger complex browser tasks as part of multi-step workflows.
Key parameters to configure:
- BrowserAct API Key: Your authentication credential for connecting to BrowserAct. This text field is required and must contain a valid API key from your BrowserAct account.
- Resource: A dropdown selector fixed to "Workflow" in this context. This required parameter specifies that you're working with BrowserAct workflows.
- Operation: Pre-set to "Run a Workflow", this required dropdown confirms the action being performed.
- Search Workflows From: Choose where to find your workflow, with "Template Marketplace" as the default source. This required dropdown lets you access BrowserAct's pre-built templates or your custom workflows.
- Workflow: Select the specific workflow you want to execute. This required field displays available workflows from your chosen source.
- Mapping Column Mode: Determines how data columns are mapped between n8n and BrowserAct. Default is "Map Each Column Manually", giving you granular control over data transfer. Required parameter.
- Timeout: An optional number field (default: 3600 seconds) that sets how long n8n waits for the BrowserAct workflow to complete before timing out.
Typical use cases:
- Trigger a web scraping workflow when a new row is added to Google Sheets
- Run a form-filling automation when a webhook receives new lead data
- Execute browser-based testing workflows after deployment notifications from GitHub
- Chain multiple BrowserAct workflows in sequence with data transformation between steps using Airtable or similar tools

Frequently asked questions
Is the BrowserAct n8n integration free to use?
The n8n side of the integration is included with your n8n instance—whether you're using the free self-hosted version or n8n Cloud. However, you'll need an active BrowserAct account with API access to use this integration. BrowserAct's pricing depends on their subscription plans, which typically include a certain number of workflow executions per month. Check both platforms' pricing pages to understand the total cost based on your expected usage volume.How long can a BrowserAct workflow run through n8n?
The default timeout is set to 3600 seconds (1 hour), which accommodates most browser automation tasks. You can adjust this value in the Timeout parameter based on your workflow's complexity. For quick tasks like simple form submissions, you might reduce this to a few minutes. For extensive scraping operations or multi-step browser sequences, you may want to keep it at the default or even increase it. Keep in mind that very long-running workflows should be monitored for potential failures.Can I pass dynamic data from n8n to my BrowserAct workflow?
Yes, the "Mapping Column Mode" parameter is specifically designed for this purpose. By selecting "Map Each Column Manually", you can map n8n data fields to BrowserAct workflow inputs. This means you can pass variables like URLs to scrape, form data to submit, or search queries—all dynamically sourced from previous nodes in your n8n workflow. This makes the integration highly flexible for data-driven browser automation scenarios.
