Due to chrome updates you will need the specific CHROME DRIVER for your CHROME install.

Info on how to do that here:

I'll get the driver updated for the next update of instadub as well so it is the latest

I would like to try to use browser automation with some simple profile scraping tasks. I have looked for the option described in the first post in this thread "To use the browser, on the action tabs: select USE BROWSER" and I don't see that now.

I recall (I think but I'm not sure now) I tried to use browser automation a couple years ago and found no difference so I didn't experiment with it further.

Can I use browser automation with the scraping of images or users (or other info returned in the scrape/search) and if so how to I enable this function -- assume I have actions view enabled, what tab do I go to, and what is the option / button / etc I need to enable or change?

No, browser scraping is not available

Any chance this browser automation can get expanded to post content?

Your suggestion has been noted and added to the feature suggestions list. Depending on the demand for the change / feature will alter how quickly it gets implemented.

As others have asked for the option to prioritise their feature, I'm just letting you know (it's by no means compulsory) if the feature is very important to you, we do offer the chance to sponsor the feature to get it developed ASAP. If interested write in with your budget (it's simple, the more you pay bigger the priority will be :-) for further discussion: support[at]rootjazz[dot]com

Hey Martin,
hope you doing well. Finally coming back to ID after a while.

So downloaded the lastest instadub_installer_v4.07464, the chrome driver and replaced the current driver.
Chrome is: 119.0.6045.106

I am logged into the IG account in Chrome I want to do the ID actions.

For the test I do "Promo Style", safe mode, only 5 likes,
unchecked [ ] the create boxes and checked [X] Use WebBrowser.

Then I click the "create promo actions" button.

Question: How is the process? Should ID now open a new Chrome Window or how will the automation happen?

I let ID run for a while, then cancelled the action, so we have a log file: Logs Id_38872

Thanks!
