Marc Mueller (ID: 000000dc552511c0) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/28/2023 As an RPA Developer it was easy to start with! But i think if you have no experience and you will follow along with the great documentation you are able to build awesome things with PixieBrix! I highly encourage you to test this browser automation by yourself. The certifications provided by PixieBrix are also very interesting. I also participate in the BotGames from Automation Anywhere where you will trigger control room bots out of the PixieBrix extension. So no excuses anymore not to test this awesome Chrome extension.
