Run in My Regular Browser

Last updated
Runs TaskBot directly in your regular Chrome browser session, reusing your existing logged-in accounts and Chrome extensions.
TaskBots can run in parallel, each operating in its own tab.
You can continue using your own tabs while TaskBots run in others, enabling manual and automated work side-by-side.
Each TaskBot launches a new browser tab or window in the specified Chrome profile, but the context is not isolated — TaskBots can access all open pages within your regular browser, regardless of the profile. Using the Switch or Close Tab building block, you can direct your TaskBot to work with tabs opened manually or by other TaskBots. However, be cautious to avoid unintentionally closing or switching to the wrong tabs.
When using the Switch or Close Tab building block with Run in my regular browser mode enabled, it’s recommended to define the tab using the Tab URL rather than options based on the tab order.
Tabs used by TaskBots will be automatically closed after the run. To prevent this, select the Stay on Page after Run option.
To enable this option, click on the settings gear icon in the top-right corner of your TaskBot page, navigate to TaskBot settings, and select this option.
Ensure Chrome is installed Make sure the Chrome browser is installed on your system.
Specify Chrome profile (optional) By default, TaskBots will use the "Default" Chrome profile. If you want TaskBots to use a specific profile:
Open Chrome, go to chrome://version, and copy the value under Profile Path (the text after the last / is your profile name, e.g., Default or Profile 1).
Add this profile name to the TaskBot settings.
Provide Chrome path (optional) If your Chrome installation is not in the default location, provide the path to the Chrome executable:
Open Chrome, go to chrome://version, and copy the value under Executable Path.
Paste this value into the TaskBot settings.
Relaunch Chrome Click on Relaunch Chrome option in the Required Action section.
Here are possible reasons and approaches to resolve them:
Too many tabs
If the relaunch fails, it may be due to having too many tabs open in Chrome. This can interfere with the relaunch process.
Recommendation: Before retrying, close as many tabs as possible and keep the total number of open tabs under 10.
This will improve the reliability of the relaunch process.
Your computer has low processing power It has been reported that the relaunch process does not work as reliably on devices with low processing power. If that's your case, please try the manual solution to connect your agent to your browser. Steps are described below. 👇
Your system prevents the quit operation Here is a manual solution to connect your agent to your browser:
Quit Chrome manually Quit your Chrome browser entirely to ensure all processes are terminated.
Open ZeroWork in a different browser Use a browser other than Chrome (e.g., Brave, Firefox, or Edge) to navigate to https://creator.zerowork.io.
Run the TaskBot Select Run in my regular browser mode and click Run from this non-Chrome browser. The TaskBot will launch Chrome in the required connected state.
Enable Stay on Page after Run Before clicking Run, enable the Stay on Page after Run option for this run. This prevents the TaskBot from closing the tab it was running in, keeping the Chrome browser connected to the agent.
Continue using Chrome Once the TaskBot has launched Chrome, you can switch back to using Chrome for your manual or automated workflows, and the agent will remain connected.
