Interesting, I don't know javascript though. In chrome I use the Automa extension, which is connecting lines with blocks (and you still have to pick up some js. I didn't even know what an 'element' was when I started). Even a beginner can do something useful after an hour of study or so. YMMV.

There's a library of scripts you can copy from

Nice tool. There's been some real steps forward enabling non coders to put together workflows.

Personally I would love to see a Dalle 2 for automation. Would be great to just be able to write.

1. Go to toastmaster website

2. Find next meeting

3. Check if I have selected a role

4. Send SMS

And it magically works. Ahhh maybe one day.

Correct link is https://automating.life/posts/using-automation-to-improve-my...

Summarizing quote: “We are going to build a web scraper that monitors the Toastmasters web portal and notifies me as soon as roles for an upcoming meeting become available for selection.”

Hey author here.

Thanks for reposting a working link. The link should be back up and working now.

I was messing around with my new blogging tool (Notion + Super) and must have broken something.

For some reason this submission was stopped showing up anywhere on Hacker News a couple of hours after I published it. Perhaps because the link was broken for a little while this triggered some automatic moderation.
