About Zapier

Zapier is a no-code automation platform that connects apps and services so you can build workflows — called Zaps — without writing code. The Anchor (Agentic Browser Automation) integration brings Anchor Browser’s cloud browser automation into your Zaps. Use it to run AI-powered web tasks, manage browser sessions, execute Automation Tasks, and control the browser at the OS level — all from Zapier’s visual builder.

Quick Start

1

Add the Anchor Browser app

In Zapier, create a new Zap and search for Anchor (Agentic Browser Automation) when choosing an app.
2

Connect your account

When prompted, paste your Anchor Browser API key. You can create or copy a key from the API Keys page in the Anchor dashboard.Zapier validates the connection by calling the Anchor API. Make sure the test succeeds before continuing.
3

Choose an action

Select the action that matches your use case. For most agentic automations, start with Agent Task — see AI-powered actions below.
4

Configure and test

Fill in the required fields (typically a prompt and either a URL or session ID), then run a test step to confirm the action works before turning the Zap on.

Available Actions

The integration exposes actions across four categories: AI-powered tools, browser sessions, saved tasks, and OS-level browser control.

AI-powered actions

These actions use Anchor’s AI agents to complete web tasks from natural language prompts. See AI Task Completion for configuration details such as agents, providers, and models.
