API Credentials for Google Chrome

Guide to obtaining tokens, keys, and connections.

Connect a Google Chrome tab with Botize so your automations can control the browser. Follow these steps in order.

1

Download the Botize extension for Google Chrome here.
2

Locate the downloaded file (btzchrome.zip), right-click it and select 'Extract All' (Windows) or double-click it (Mac). This will create a folder with the extension files.
3

Open the Chrome extensions manager by entering chrome://extensions in the address bar.
4

In the top-right corner of the extensions page, enable the 'Developer mode' toggle.
5

Click the 'Load unpacked' button. Select the folder you extracted in step 2 and confirm.
6

The extension 'Botize for Google Chrome' will appear in the list. You can also access it from the puzzle icon in Chrome’s toolbar.

1

Open the Chrome connection page: Connect Chrome.
2

Enter a descriptive name to identify this connection, such as 'Facebook personal', 'WhatsApp work', or 'Amazon'. This name will be used to assign tasks to this tab from your automations.
3

Click 'Authorize' to save the connection. Botize will register the name and make it available in your automations.

1

Open the automation where you want to use Chrome. If you have multiple Chrome connections, you can select one from the dropdown at the top.
2

Inside the automation, click 'Show access token' and copy the code.
3

Open in Chrome the page you want to automate in a tab (it can be a new tab or an incognito window).
4

Click the Botize extension icon in Chrome’s toolbar. If you don’t see it, open the puzzle icon and pin the extension.
5

Paste the token into the 'Tab token' field and click 'Activate tab'. The tab will be linked and Botize will be able to send jobs to it automatically.
