Good start...looking forward to the future
First off - the comparison to Zapier doesn't land with me. I like Zapier for linking software's via their respective API's. I see TaskMagic fitting solidly in the manual website task mode.
My first attempt to create an automation was bumpy, but I finally got it (missed the control bar at the bottom of the screen...user error). I was creating a task that I want to be able to manually run across sites on different domains, but learned there isn't a way to manual trigger the automation to run against the site I'm currently on. 😢
I reached out to the team on their website and didn't get a response back to the first message I sent. A day or two later, I got a personal response from Jeremy, and he promised this use case would be solved soon. That's exciting, but not immediately useful for me.
As I got a better idea of where this tool can currently fit in my workflow, I identified a project I've been putting off that would require me to manually click hundreds of links in a list and act on them. UGH.
With this task in mind, I came to TaskMagic again. Found the right YouTube tutorial to teach me how to scrape a list on a page. It took me about 5 minutes to build the automation, and less than a minute for the automation to run. I had a project that would have taken me 1-2 hours to manually process, and had it done in less than 10 minutes, which included learning how to scrape a list.
4 tacos because it still has some hiccups, and I can't run my main use case, but I can see where this can fit into my workflow now. I'm excited for the continued development from the TaskMagic team and will be sticking around.

May 9, 2024This is very much a SOLID review Scott with greatly needed feedback! Some of these people feel like the sky is falling bc they only liked the deal and it wasn't working the way they hoped in the first 3 days! Im taking what you said with positioning to zapier, and i like how you mentioned the manual website mode...any idea for website copy?
And also i hear you on the bar at the bottom during recording. We are pushing the change to fix this. Trying to make it way more obvious and walk people through.
... I'll message you for more, just got caught up. I am hoping I can get you to add 1 more of those tacos (in time, in time....we'll earn it). We are pushing this update very very shortly!! Once that's complete i'll be sure to send you that video of it working. And i really think your 5 tacos for sticking around! Ill make it worth it to you.
