Open web session - Residential Proxies
Open a website on a new browser session using residential proxies. If you would like to use other proxies, use Open web session instead. This Wrk Action will create a unique browser session that must be used in subsequent Website Automation Wrk Actions.
A browser session will be active for up to 6 hours or until closed. Sessions are never kept open longer than 6 hours. If your Web Process Automation Wrkflow is taking longer than 6 hours, break it into smaller browser sessions.
Always use the Close web session Wrk Action when you are done with your website automation. It will significantly improve the performance of your Wrkflow.
