Automation has become an essential tool for streamlining processes and increasing efficiency in various aspects of our digital lives. One common question that often arises is how to toggle between running automation on desktop or in the cloud. In this guide, we will walk you through the steps to seamlessly switch between desktop and cloud-based automation.

When it comes to activating your automation, you have the flexibility to choose between running it from your desktop or our cloud servers. By accessing your automation settings, you can easily toggle between the two options.

Once you have selected the desired mode - desktop or cloud - you can easily monitor the status of your automation.

Regardless of whether you run the automation from your desktop or the cloud, you can still track the progress and updates in the task history section. This allows you to stay informed about the execution of tasks, even if they are processed in the cloud environment.

By understanding how to toggle between desktop and cloud-based automation, you can optimize your workflow and enhance efficiency in managing automated tasks. Whether you prefer the convenience of running automation from your desktop or the flexibility of cloud-based execution, the choice is yours to make based on your specific needs and preferences.

Step 1- Click into the Automation

Step 2- Click Turn On in right top of window — Click on Turn on from Desktop

Step 3- Again we can Turn off it

Step 4- Again we can Turn On from Cloud

Step 5- We can see the Green Cloud Icon for Turn off

So when it comes to turning on your automation from desktop or from cloud, we can click into our automation here and then in the top right, we will see this turn on drop down and we'll see the options turn on from desktop and turn on from cloud. So desktop is the most common thing because that comes with most of our plans from default is that you'll just be able to turn this on from your desktop.

Um, anytime this is supposed to run, it'll run a headless browser from your computer. Um, and then you get unlimited runtime, most likely depending on the plan. Um, I think at least besides that, we also have cloud, which means that no matter what, even if your computer isn't on, this automation will run from our cloud server.

So if we click turn on from desktop, we will see the desktop icon now with the green turn off button telling us that this is turned on. Then to switch this to cloud or to, uh, turn this on from cloud, we can click turn on again. And then turn on from cloud. And we will now see the cloud icon. So again, whenever this automation is triggered to run now that it's turned on from cloud, this is going to run from our cloud servers and not from your desktop app, however, you'll still be able to see any updates for that run in the task history section, even if it took place from the cloud server.
