VIDEO TRANSCRIPT

So setting up Chrome profiles is a really good way to manage a series of automations that are running from one automation or one set of cookies. So what this allows us to do is if we click settings and then Chrome profile settings, we're able to create some profiles here instead of our automations making one every time.

Um, I mean, really every time there's a new automation. Every individual automation is going to be its own browser profile, which means that it's completely independent from your other automations. And this is because majority of automations would want to run independent from each other, but because some might want to run together, we made this feature.

So if I click settings in the Chrome profile settings, like I did here, it'll take us to this page where we can create a new Chrome profile. So if I click this, I can name this, which I'll name it. Kyle's Instagram. And then I need to grab my cookies from Instagram, so I'll open that here, export my cookies, then back in Task Magic, I'll paste these.

And if I wanted to, I could add extra sites, so like my Facebook login, and we'd probably want to update this as well. Um, and then we can also grant specific workspace access. So these Chrome profiles are always going to be private to you unless you share it with a workspace. If you share it with a workspace, then the other users in that automation will be able to use your same cookies.

So I'll click create here and we'll see that that made a new profile for me. Now, if I go to, One of my workspaces. And then I click new automation web and for, and I click use a shared Chrome profile. This is going to allow us to select the Chrome profile we created to make sure we log in. So I'll click here and then I'll select Kyle's Instagram, which is the most recent one I created.

We could add extra cookies if we wanted to, but we can just click start recording since that's all that we need in this use case.

Then from here, it's loading to our normal Task Magic page. So the first step is going to be going to Instagram, since I'm probably going to be working on Instagram, uh, given the profile. So I'll type instagram. com, and we will already be logged in to Instagram. Now, if I go to another automation in my workspace, and I click here, so new automation, Web and I add another automation again, this one will also be logged into Instagram, even with the other one being able to maintain its login session because these profiles are the same instead of them being separated like they are from the beginning.

So we'll see that we're logged in here as well. Now, sometimes if you didn't do this, you would see yourself get logged out on one of the profiles. If there were two different automations that were not linked, um, running at similar times or too frequently.
