Getting started with automation

LaunchBrightly’s screenshot automation platform allows you to set up automation recipes to auto-generate screenshots of the last version of your product and, automatically and continuously, update the screenshots in your help documentation as your product changes. Below is a simple quick-start guide.

Create a secure login profile

Capture screenshots from behind the login of your application.

Replicate the login actions of a regular user to capture screenshots from behind the login of your application—without requiring engineering support. The login profile is fully customizable and was designed to support any authentication setup. Use the point-and-click screenshot setup wizard to, among other things:

  • Navigate to the URL for the login page of your application
  • Identify the Username Input Box and add the username for your demo account
  • Identify the Password Input Box and add the password for your demo account
  • Identity and click buttons in your authentication flow like Continue or Login

Set up your first simple recipe and process it

Use the point-and-click screenshot setup wizard to create an automated screenshot sequence.

The screenshot recipe builder meticulously records your steps to create an automated screenshot sequence that can be run repeatedly to capture your screenshots. Use the point-and-click screenshot setup wizard to:

  • Navigate to the URL in your application where the product element you would like to capture lives
  • Record the steps to prime your screenshot–from clicking buttons, to adding input text, and removing specific elements
  • Identify elements you would like to automatically add precise annotations to whenever your screenshot is generated
  • Automatically apply a set of visual enhancements to each screenshot ensuring consistency

The screenshot recipe builder allows you to select specific product elements that you would like to, automatically and continuously, capture screenshots of. Or, rather than capturing specific elements on the page, use the recipe builder to automatically capture full page screenshots from your application.
