When NOT to use automa
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- When specific automation tasks demand customization via coding rather than block connectivity since Automa is more suited for visual scripting.
- If your project involves non-browser-based workflows, as Automa's functionality is limited to browser extensions like Chrome and Firefox.
