Bot attach in Chrome open by user

During the execution of the bot, the bot uses a Google Chrome session opened by the user. With that, the bot does not need to open an instance and be login, among other uses. For example, in the Process, it would be possible to reuse the chrome opened by another instance.

    Support to attach the bot to an opened browser for attended automation is planned.

    We plan to support this feature for Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge and Firefox.

    Hello, any update on this consideration? Attaching to an open browser is critical functionality for RPA that is currently missing. Attaching to Internet Explorer (out of support June 2022), has not been a viable option for 2 years.

    This functionality is crucial for us. We've resorted to alternative solutions because it hasn't been implemented yet. Do you have any updates?

    Hi Martin, this is not in the 2023 plans. We are working on what we call "Natural Recorder", which will help us improve the current web browser extension and move us toward to implement this idea in the future.

    Comments from TTIA:

    Connect to existing chrome browser. This only works with IE. All chrome browsers are shutdown when script. Would be very helpful since you can continue working on a browser session that is already logged in to systems and some activities are already performed
