Looks like somebody forgot to update the gitignore lol

Yup that's right its Robotic Process Automation.

Based on the feedback in this thread we're going to be releasing an updated version that focuses more around tooling for the browser agents themselves as opposed to scaling/scheduling, so stay tuned for that!

This should be fixed now

We're in the middle of putting this together right now but it's going to be a wrapper around Google Secret Manager for those that don't want to set up a secrets manager themselves.

Depends on the use case. Lots of hospitals and banks use RPA to automate routine processes on their EHRs and systems of record, because these kinds of software typically don't have APIs available. Or if they do, they're very limited.

Playwright and other browser automation scripts are a much more powerful version of RPA but they do require some knowledge of code. But there are more and more developers every year and code just gets more powerful every year. So I think it's a good bet to make that browser automation in code will replace RPA altogether some day.

We do support sentry. Finic projects are poetry scripts so you can `poetry add` any observability library you need.

That's a great suggestion! Essentially a cron job to check for website changes before your automation runs and possibly breaks.

What does this check look like for you? Do you just diff the html to see if there are any changes?
