Headless browser session control

Cloudflare Browser Rendering lets a program open and drive a real browser instance without a visible window, so it can load a page the way a person would see it. A Beam agent starts a session when a workflow step needs data or an action from a site with no usable API, navigates to the page, and reads the rendered content. It closes the session once the step is done. If the page requires a login it doesn't have, shows an unexpected layout, or returns an error, the agent stops and routes the case to a person.

Page content extraction

Once a page has loaded in the rendered browser session, its content, whether that's text, a table, or an element's state, becomes readable the way a person browsing the page would see it. A Beam agent reads the specific elements a workflow needs, such as a status field or a listed value, and passes that data to the next step or writes it into a connected system. When the expected element is missing, the page structure has changed, or the content doesn't match what the workflow expects, the agent flags it for a person to check.

Scripted browser action flows

Beyond reading a page, the same rendered session can click, type, and submit forms, letting an agent complete a sequence of steps a site requires, such as filling a form or navigating through several screens. A Beam agent runs the approved sequence for a given trigger, confirms each step completed as expected, and moves to the next one only when it has. If a step fails, an expected element doesn't appear, or the site presents a confirmation step the workflow wasn't built for, the agent stops the flow and hands it to a person.
