What is RPA?
RPA (Robotic Process Automation, or Robot Process Automation) allows cloud phones to automatically perform repetitive operations, such as:
- Automatic likes, comments, and follows
- Scheduled content posting
- Batch information collection
- Timed check-ins and reward collection
Prerequisites
- Ensure that NestBrowser is updated to a version that supports RPA functionality.
- The target application is installed on the cloud phone instance.
- Prepare a cloud phone instance with an already configured account.
Running Your First RPA Task
Step 1: Open the RPA Panel
In the NestBrowser screen projection interface, click the “RPA” or “Automation” icon in the right toolbar to open the RPA task panel.
Step 2: Select a Built-in Task
The system provides several pre-configured RPA task templates:
- Timed Screenshot: Take and save screenshots at specified intervals.
- Timed Click: Perform clicks at specified coordinates.
- Text Input: Automatically send specified text content.
- Scrolling: Simulate swipe gestures up and down.
Select a built-in task and click “Configure” to fill in the parameters.
Step 3: Start the Task
- After configuring the parameters, click “Start Running”.
- In the task list, you can see the task status (Running / Completed / Paused).
- Click “Log” to view the execution details.
Batch RPA Tasks
To run RPA tasks on multiple cloud phones simultaneously:
- In the management panel, select multiple instances.
- Click “Batch RPA”.
- Choose a task template and distribute it for execution.
Advanced: Custom RPA Scripts
When the built-in tasks do not meet your needs, you can write custom scripts. For more details, see How to Customize RPA Scripts
