Overview

Welcome to the Remote Browser integration guide for Julep! This integration allows you to manage browser sessions and perform various actions, enabling you to build workflows that require browser automation capabilities. Whether you’re testing web applications or automating web tasks, this guide will walk you through the setup and usage.

​
Prerequisites

To use the Remote Browser integration, you need to configure a remote browser to connect to. The integration then uses Playwright for browser automation to interact with the that remote browser.

​
How to Use the Integration

To get started with the Remote Browser integration, follow these steps to configure and create a task:
1

Configure Remote Browser

Add your Remote Browser configuration (say Browserbase) to the tools section of your task. This will allow Julep to manage browser automation on your behalf to interact with the remote browser.
2

Create Task Definition

Use the following YAML configuration to perform browser actions in your task definition:
Remote Browser Example

tools:
- name: browserbase_tool
  type: integration
  integration:
    provider: browserbase
    method: create_session
    setup:
      project_id: "BROWSERBASE_PROJECT_ID"

- name: browser_tool
  type: integration
  integration:
    provider: remote_browser
    method: perform_action
    setup:
      width: 1920
      height: 1080

main:

- tool: browserbase_tool
  method: create_session
  arguments:
    project_id: BROWSERBASE_PROJECT_ID

- evaluate:
    browser_session_id: $ _.id
    connect_url: $ _.connect_url

- tool: browser_tool
  arguments:
    connect_url: $ _.connect_url
    action: navigate
    text: https://www.google.com
