In this quickstart, you’ll build an RPA (Robotic Process Automation) that automates booking a consultation appointment and deploy it to Intuned. By the end, you’ll have a working automation ready to run on demand.

Prerequisites

  • An active Intuned account (sign up here). No credit card required—Intuned has a free plan
  • Basic familiarity with TypeScript or Python

Create and deploy your first RPA

You can develop Intuned Projects in two ways:
  • Online IDE — Zero setup. Write, test, and deploy directly from your browser.
  • CLI — Local development with full version control and CI/CD integration.
Choose your preferred approach below.

Log in and create project

  1. Go to app.intuned.io/projects and log in.
  2. Select Create Project.
  3. Select your language (TypeScript or Python).
  4. Choose the book consultations template.
  5. Name it book-consultations-quickstart.
  6. Ensure IDE is selected as Type.
  7. Select Create and Open.
create-rpa-projectExpected result: The Intuned IDE opens with your project loaded.
What you just got: An Intuned Project groups related browser automations together. Each file in the api/ folder becomes a callable function that controls a browser using Playwright, accepts parameters, and returns results. When you deploy this project, all its APIs go live together as a single deployable unit.

Explore the project code

In the file explorer, you’ll see the API file:api/book-consultations - A complete automation that:
  • Navigates to the booking form
  • Fills in personal details (name, email, phone)
  • Selects date, time, and consultation topic
  • Submits the form and verifies success
How it works: This automation controls a browser like a human would—navigating to a website, filling form fields, clicking buttons—but executes these actions automatically based on your code and input parameters.

Run your automation in the IDE

Test the automation to see it working in real-time.
  1. In the top toolbar, select book-consultations from the API dropdown.
  2. Select Params #1 next to it—you’ll see pre-filled test data already configured.
  3. Select the Run button. Run RPA ide
Expected result: The browser panel on the right shows the automation executing live. You’ll see it navigate to the booking form, fill in all fields, submit, and verify success. The terminal below displays the result of the Run.

Deploy your project

Deploy your automation to Intuned’s infrastructure.
  1. Select the Deploy button in the top-right corner of the IDE.
  2. Leave Create default job toggle selected.
  3. In the deployment dialog, select Deploy to start.
  4. Watch the live deployment logs until you see “Ready”.
Expected result: A success message appears. Your automation is now live and ready to run.

Test in the Playground

Now test your deployed automation through the API Playground.
  1. In the deployment success dialog, select Run in Playground.
  2. In the Playground, you’ll see your deployed API book-consultations ready to call.
  3. The request body is pre-filled with test parameters. Select Start Run to execute.
The Playground is just an interactive way to test your deployed automation APIs. Your automation is now callable from anywhere via API—use it from your application, service, or any HTTP client. See the API Reference for authentication and programmatic usage.

  • Online IDE — Learn more about the Intuned IDE used in this quickstart.
  • Local development (CLI) — Learn more about the Intuned CLI used in this quickstart.
  • Authentication — For automations that require login, Intuned provides built-in authentication support. You define how to log in and how to verify a session, and Intuned handles the rest—validating sessions before runs, reusing them when possible, and recreating them when expired.
  • Monitoring and traces — Every run generates detailed logs, browser traces, and session recordings. Use these tools to debug failures, verify your automation is working correctly, and understand what happened during execution.
  • Flexible automations — Build automations your way. Write deterministic code, use AI-driven extraction, or combine both in a hybrid approach. Use any library or package—Intuned is unopinionated by design.
  • Intuned Agent quickstart — You can write your automation logic manually like in this quickstart, or use Intuned Agent to generate automations from a prompt and schema. Intuned Agent can also help you update existing automations, fix failed runs, and iterate on your code faster.
  • Cookbook — Browse full working examples of automations and scrapers. Each example includes complete code you can use as a starting point for your own projects.
