How to use bot actions to scan sites with custom configurations such as passwords

How do you scan sites with advanced configurations such as passwords, logins, cookie banners, age restrictions, and newsletter modals?

Configured Scanning is here! Show RAMP how to sign in or get past a pop-up by recording the steps yourself. It's available on Pro and Pro+ plans. Read How to set up Configured Scanning, or contact our support team to switch from Bot Actions.

  1. Select a property from your property list in RAMP. (The list is located at the top right corner of your browser window.)
  2. Navigate to RAMP Settings at the bottom of the left navigation bar, then to Automated Scanning.
  3. If your site requires HTTP authentication, enter the credentials first.
  4. Select Set Up to start your first Bot Action
  5. Use “Add Step +” to add the steps our bot should perform to access your site. You can choose “check condition” to identify status codes, redirected page URLs, and other elements. Or you can choose “perform action” to tell the bot to wait, fill out form fields, click, submit form, go to page, and stop.

No bot actions are configured alongside button titled "set up" on the right of the screen

Custom Sequence Example

For example, if your property has a modal that requires the user to confirm their age to unlock access, your sequence could look like the following:

Sequence Builder showing a conditional step. Start: Navigate to page URL. If element with matching selector ‘age-popup’ exists, then click element with selector ‘confirm-yes.’ End sequence.

  1. Start – Navigate to the page URL.
  2. Check Condition – If an element matching selector “age-popup“ exists,
    • Then: Perform Action – Click the element with the selector “confirm-yes,”
  3. End – Finish sequence.
