Sumoling_007Q: schedule workflows?
Hello.
1. Do you plan to develop an option to schedule workflows to run at specific times and days, without relying on external integrations like Make or Zapier?
2. Can I use Zoho Flow to activate a workflow at specific times? What would the correct flow look like?
3. Can I also use Zoho Flow to import information from a Google Sheet row into the BrowserAct workflow? What's the best way to do this?
Thank you.

Mar 2, 2026A: Hi there — great questions. Let’s go through them one by one.
Native scheduling
Currently, BrowserAct does not support built-in scheduling (run at specific times/days) without an external automation tool. Native scheduling is something we’re evaluating, but for now, scheduling is typically handled through Make, n8n, or similar platforms.
Using Zoho Flow to trigger workflows
Yes, if Zoho Flow supports HTTP requests or webhooks, you can trigger a BrowserAct workflow on a schedule.
Typical setup in Zoho Flow:
Trigger → Scheduled (daily / weekly / custom time)
Action → Webhook / HTTP request
Call BrowserAct API endpoint → Pass workflow ID and any parameters
BrowserAct will execute the workflow and return structured results (JSON/CSV) which Zoho Flow can then process further.
Passing Google Sheets row data into BrowserAct
Yes, this is also possible.
Typical flow:
Trigger → New row in Google Sheets (or scheduled read)
Action → Webhook / HTTP request to BrowserAct
Map row fields as input parameters into your BrowserAct workflow
Inside BrowserAct, you define input parameters (for example: URL, keyword, company name). Zoho Flow passes each row’s values into those parameters when triggering the workflow.
Best practice:
Design your BrowserAct workflow with clear input variables.
Keep extraction logic inside BrowserAct.
Use Zoho Flow only for orchestration and scheduling.
