Yes, you absolutely can. **Automa** is designed specifically for this kind of repetitive browser-based work. You can build a workflow once and set it to trigger automatically every day.
However, because it is a **Chrome extension**, there are a few important "rules" to keep in mind regarding how it runs.
### 1. How to Set Up Daily Execution
To make your work run every day, you need to use the **Trigger Block** within your workflow:
* **Open your Workflow:** Go to the Automa dashboard and open the workflow you’ve built.
* **Add/Edit the Trigger Block:** This is usually the first block in your workflow.
* **Set the Type to "Specific Day":** You can select "Daily" and choose a specific time (e.g., 09:00 AM).
* **Set the Interval:** You can specify that it should run every 1 day.
### 2. The "Catch" (PC Must Be On)
Since Automa is a browser extension, it lives on your computer, not in the "cloud." This means:
* **Computer Status:** Your computer must be **on** and not in sleep mode at the scheduled time.
* **Browser Status:** Chrome must be open (though it can be running in the background).
* **Missed Tasks:** If your computer is off at 9:00 AM, the task won't run. To fix this, some users use the **"On Browser Startup"** trigger instead, so the work starts as soon as you open your computer each morning.
### 3. Key Tips for a Month-Long Automation
* **Use "Wait" Blocks:** Websites sometimes load slowly. Adding a 2-3 second "Wait" block between actions prevents the automation from "breaking" if the internet lags.
* **Handle Pop-ups:** If the site you use occasionally shows "Daily Deals" or "Update" pop-ups, your automation might get stuck. Try to build in a step that clicks "Close" on potential pop-ups.
* **Log Your Data:** If the work involves gathering info, use the **"Insert Data"** or **"Export Data"** blocks to save your results to a CSV or Google Sheet so you can check a month’s worth of work later.
