Good morning,
I would need, for an automation, to connect to the Chrome browser already opened by another robotic task; among the available actions, I cannot seem to find any option.
Could anyone help me with this?

    I have a browser already open and would like to create an automation that connects to this browser and performs the automation; such as an attach stage in Blue Prism

    Hi [mention:cf63013e189d4396bcbd697f49626cbc:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] 

    Appian may not provide direct features for automating an already open browser, as seen in tools like Blue Prism or UiPath's "Attach Browser" activity. However, if you wish to automate in such a scenario, you can leverage external tools such as Selenium or other browser automation tools.

    Appian might lack native features for automating an already open browser, unlike tools like Blue Prism or UiPath's "Attach Browser" activity.

    Consider using external tools like Selenium to create a script that interacts with an already open browser.

    If using Selenium, create a script ( 'automation_script.py') designed to interact with the open browser.

    Trigger the script from Appian to initiate automation on the already open browser.
