Browser Actions › Actions › Get Browser Reference (β)
Returns a browser reference that can be used by other actions.
Selecting "frontmost browser" will look up the current front browser, e.g. Safari or Chromium etc., and return a reference to that particular browser.
Putting this action at the beginning of a workflow, and then using its result as input for all following actions makes workflows tailored to using any browser more reliable, since the "What’s in front?" check is only done once.
Parameters
Browser
The browser to work with.
Selecting "frontmost browser" will only work if the application currently in the foreground is a supported browser.
Type: Browser
