Automation
Access this feature through the icon.
Automation is HuBrowser's reusable workflow system. You decide when a workflow runs with conditions, and what it does with action steps.
What you get
- A popup workspace focused on the current page and hostname.
- A full automations page for search, filtering, and larger-scale editing.
- JSON import/export for backups and migration.
- Integration with Record & Repeat, which can save captured steps directly into Automation.
How it works
Each automation workflow has a few core parts:
- A name and enabled state.
- Trigger logic that decides when the workflow should run.
- One or more conditions such as hostname, URL pattern, DOM readiness, hotkey, or watched elements.
- One or more action steps such as click, input, focus, URL transforms, DOM changes, or scripts.
New workflows in the popup start from a prefilled template for the current site, so you can adjust a draft instead of building everything from scratch.
Two editing surfaces
Popup workspace
Use the popup when you want to work on the current site quickly.
- It loads the active page hostname.
- It shows matching automations for the current URL.
- It lets you enable, disable, edit, delete, and add workflows.
- It includes import/export controls.
Full automations page
Use the full page when your library gets larger.
- Search by name or description.
- Filter by status, date, hostname, and common workflow traits.
- Bulk-delete the currently filtered set.
- Open a focused editor modal for a specific workflow.

Best fit
Automation is the right tool when you want a repeatable browser workflow that you can keep, refine, and rerun later. If you want to capture a flow first and clean it up afterward, start with Record & Repeat and then continue in Automation.
