If this could take screenshots, I would signup in a heartbeat.

Here is my need (and I've had this need my whole working career": What does production look like?

If a tool could automate loggin in, browsing specific flows, take screenshots of every page, and add them to a folder of the day, it would invaluable.

You're in luck! Browserflow can take screenshots and save them to Google Drive every day. :)

Take a look at the "Take Screenshot" command and feel free to message me on the Browserflow Discord if you need help.

No, thank you. Please offer a local save option.

If you run the flow locally, it'll save locally.

If you run the flow in the cloud, it'll need some place to persist it so I've chosen Google Drive to start. If there's enough demand, I'd be open to storing it on Browserflow's servers and providing an API to access the files but I'd want to make sure that's something enough customers want before sinking my time into it.

I'm not (yet) a Browserflow user, but it's something that I'm going to either pitch or just skunk into my workflow. But when that time comes, I will absolutely need a first-party way to download screenshots. I'd be open to pulling them from an S3 bucket, but absolutely not from Google Drive.

That time is at least a few weeks off, though, probably after the new year.
