When enabled, TaskBot will run in the background, hiding the browser window entirely.
When disabled, TaskBot will display the browser window on your screen, allowing you to watch its actions.
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.
Run in background is ignored when using the Run in My Regular Browser mode.
When should I use this option?
During Building or Testing: Keep this option disabled while building or testing your TaskBot so you can monitor its actions and ensure everything runs as expected.
After Ensuring Reliability: Once you’re confident your TaskBot is functioning reliably, you can enable this option. Here are some additional tips:
Many users with two or more monitors prefer to leave Run in Background disabled. This allows them to keep an eye on the TaskBot's progress in another browser window on their secondary monitor while continuing their work on their primary monitor.
Other users prefer to keep it enabled at all times, monitoring TaskBot activity via the Running TaskBots display, reviewing logs and setting up notifications for failed runs (see Using Run Reports).
