Is there a way to automate web data entry in KNIME?
For example: I have an excel sheet containing information such as customer name, email address, phone number. I want KNIME to open chrome input the data for each customer and then close chrome.
Hello @TryingtoLearn,
You could try looking into the web interaction extension that can open windows such as tabs and interact with it:
Maybe if possible, look to see if you can ping a api with the data you want to upload as that may be easier to work with.

Hello @thor_landstrom ,
Thanks for the suggestion, I will definitely check it out.
I’m not familiar with Api pinging, Can you elaborate on that?

Hey @TryingtoLearn,
So I mean just sending a request to an API when I say that. There are a couple different types of requests. For your case, you would want a POST request which is where you can send data to or upload. Knime has an extension that you can use to do these actions on an api below:
I am not sure of where you want to upload the data, so you would need to find out if its possible to just send like maybe a JSON with the customer id as the identifier and you pass in the JSON the email that should be filled out for them.

To be honest: This sounds like a typical task for MS Power Automate, not for KNIME. At least as long as there is no ASPI as described above.
