Enable your TaskBot to access your browser cookie session, so that it doesn't have to log in every time it runs in an incognito session.
If you ever log out from the website that you copied cookies from, this will invalidate the cookie session. So if you log out, be sure to re-copy and re-paste your cookies again!
Your cookies may expire over time. Simply copy them again and paste to your TaskBot workflow, as described below.
Download this free-of-charge plugin Cookie-Editor: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/cookie-editor/hlkenndednhfkekhgcdicdfddnkalmdm.
Click on the puzzle sign on your Chrome bar and pin it, like shown below.
Go to the website for which you need to get cookies. For example, if you are building a TaskBot for LinkedIn, open linkedin.com, make sure you are logged in, click on the Cookie-Editor plugin and click on Export button - marked red in the screenshot below. Then select Export as JSON option. That action will copy your cookies to your clipboard.
Now return to your TaskBot builder page, open TaskBot Settings and paste your cookies in the cookies field. Now you are good to go!
In some rare cases, some websites do not accept cookies to be logged in with.
In such cases, you have two options:
Use Run in My Regular Browser or Run Non-Incognito run modes.
