A task is an automation that can do almost anything you do manually on the web. For example:
Tasks are created either using 1-Click Automations or using Browse AI Recorder and its click-and-extract interface. Every task has a few variables (like the webpage address) that you can adjust every time you run it.
Every time Browse AI runs a task for you, it counts as one execution. For example, if you set up a monitoring task to monitor a webpage for changes daily, Browse AI will have to execute the task every day or about 30 times per month for you.
Note: Task executions used to be called jobs. The word job is still used in some API endpoints and parameters for backwards-compatibility.
Each task on Browse AI can optionally have one or more monitors. Monitoring tasks come with one monitor by default.
For example, if you set up a monitoring task to monitor a category page on an e-commerce site for changes daily, you can set up additional monitors to monitor other category pages on the same site using the same task.
Each monitor can have different variables and schedule.
You can run a task up to 1,000 times at once with different variables for each run.
