Open a new tab step

What to use the Open a new tab step for

Use this step to open a new tab in your browser and navigate it to a URL while an automation is running. It's useful when you need to start work on a different page without leaving the current one — for example, opening a record, a search result, or an external tool in a separate tab.

The bot operates in one tab at a time, so pair this with the 'Switch tab' step to move the bot to the new tab, and the 'Close browser tab' step to tidy up when you're done.
