Browse AI Zapier integrationAutomate Browse AI with Zapier.
The Browse AI Zapier integration gives you 1 trigger and 3 actions, with no search. Enough to send each finished scrape somewhere useful, or to start a robot from another app. Here is what each one does, what it costs, and where it breaks.

What the Browse AI Zapier integration actually does
Browse AI runs robots that pull data off websites without code. Zapier is the glue: it watches for a robot finishing its job, then hands the result to another app, or it starts a robot on demand when something happens elsewhere. You build that link once, as a Zap, and it keeps running on its own.
Three results people usually want, each tied to a real operation.
A fresh row for every scrape. When a robot finishes, New Task starts the Zap and the extracted values land in a spreadsheet or a database. No more downloading files by hand after each run.
A robot that runs when your data changes. A new lead in your CRM, a new product in your catalog: another app starts the Zap, and Run Task puts one of your robots to work on it.
A big batch in one go. Bulk Run Tasks asks one robot to work through a long list of inputs, up to 50,000 tasks in a single bulk run, instead of one Zap run per page.
What Zapier does not do here: there is no search step for Browse AI, so a Zap cannot look up an existing robot or a past result on its own. There is no action to create or edit a robot either. You set up robots inside Browse AI, then Zapier only starts them and collects what they found. The API Request (Beta) action is the escape hatch for the rest, and it is not for beginners.
Comparing tools before you commit? The Browse AI Make integration covers the same app on Make, and Make vs Zapier lays out the differences by criteria.
The Zapier words you will meet on this page
Seven terms, in plain English. Each is explained once here, then used as is.
- Zap
- Your automation on Zapier: one trigger, then one or more actions that run each time that trigger event happens.
- Trigger
- The event that starts the Zap. Once the Zap is on, Zapier sits and waits for it, here a Browse AI task that finishes.
- Action
- What the Zap does after it starts: the step that writes, sends or launches something for you, like running a robot.
- Task
- The unit Zapier bills. One task equals one action your Zap completes successfully, and your plan counts those.
- Polling vs instant
- A polling trigger is checked on a timer. An instant trigger is reported by the app itself the moment the event happens.
- Filter
- A gate between two steps: a finished scrape goes through only if it matches the rule you set, otherwise the run ends there.
- Connection
- Your Browse AI account linked to Zapier once, then reused by every step of every Zap that touches Browse AI.
What a Browse AI Zap really costs you
Browse AI is not a premium app, so it works on the free plan. The bill depends on actions, not on how often robots finish.
- Premium appNo, available on the free plan
- Free plan100 tasks per month, two-step Zaps only
- New Task triggerInstant, the plan interval does not apply
The trigger never costs a task. Each action that succeeds counts once, and a failed action counts nothing. So a Zap with three actions eats three times what a single-action Zap eats. The free plan gives you 100 tasks a month and unlimited Zaps, but only two steps per Zap: one trigger, one action. Add a filter or a second action and it becomes a multi-step Zap, which needs a paid plan. A few apps and actions take more than one task, so check the counter after your first runs.
Connect Browse AI to Zapier in three steps
- 01
Open your connections
In your Zapier account, go to the Apps page and click + Add connection. Have your Browse AI login ready, plus access to any robot you did not create yourself.
- 02
Pick Browse AI
Type Browse AI in the search box of the dialog, select it in the results, then click Add connection. A new browser tab opens on the Browse AI side for the next step.
- 03
Sign in and allow access
Log in to Browse AI in that tab and grant Zapier access to the account. Back in Zapier, the connection shows up in your list and every future Browse AI step can reuse it.
Your first Browse AI Zap, step by step
GoalEach time a robot finishes a task, keep only the relevant results and add them as a row in Google Sheets.
- 01
Create the Zap
Start a new Zap and choose Browse AI as the app that starts it. Pick New Task as the event, then select your Browse AI connection.
- 02
Set the trigger
Fill in the two required boxes: the Team that owns your robots and the Event Type to listen for. Both must match how your robots are organised in Browse AI.
- 03
Test with real data
Run the trigger test. Zapier brings back the three most recent items from your account, so you map fields on a real scrape, not on a guess.
- 04
Add the filter and the action
Add a filter so only the results you want go on, then add Google Sheets and map the scraped values to columns. The filter makes this a multi-step Zap, so a paid plan is needed.
- 05
Test, then publish
Test each step once and read what came back. When the row looks right, publish the Zap to switch it on. It only reacts to tasks finishing from that moment on.
Browse AI trigger on Zapier
1 event starts a Zap when something happens in Browse AI, and one of them is instant: the app calls Zapier straight away, whatever your plan.
New Task
Instant triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when a task is run and finished.”
Starts your Zap each time a Browse AI robot finishes a run, with what it extracted ready to pass along. This is the only way in: every scraping result you want to reuse elsewhere comes through here.
Browse AI actions on Zapier
Browse AI gives you 3 actions. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.
Bulk Run Tasks
ActionIn Zapier“Bulk runs up to 50,000 tasks using a robot”
Hands one robot a whole list of inputs at once, up to 50,000 tasks in a single bulk run. You also give the run a title, which is only there for your own reference.
Run Task
ActionIn Zapier“Runs a Task”
Sends a single robot off to do one job right now, starting from data an earlier step brought in. Good for reacting to one event at a time.
API Request (Beta)
ActionIn Zapier“This is an advanced action which makes a raw HTTP request that includes this integration's authentication.”
An advanced step that sends a raw request to Browse AI using your existing connection, for anything the ready-made actions do not cover. It asks for a method, a URL and an error setting.
When a Browse AI Zap breaks
Zapier's help center has a getting-started guide for Browse AI, but it does not list what goes wrong. These are the cases that come straight from how the integration works.
None of these is exotic. Most come from the way robots, teams and Zaps fit together. If a Zap still misbehaves after checking them, our Zapier troubleshooting page goes through the method.
Past scrapes are never picked up
A Zap only reacts to tasks that finish after you publish it. Results from last month stay in Browse AI, and moving them is a separate job.The Zap keeps restarting itself
New Task followed by Run Task on the same robot is a loop: each run finishes, starts the Zap, and launches another run, burning tasks fast.A bulk run floods the trigger
After Bulk Run Tasks, a sudden wave of finished tasks can be held back by Zapier's flood protection instead of running the Zap for each one.API Request refuses the address
API Request (Beta) only calls domains associated with Browse AI. With Stop on error set to Yes, the step halts the Zap when the app returns an error.
