Starting the Smart Recorder is just like adding a new building block. After performing the desired number of steps, the Smart Recorder will then construct the flow with the right building blocks for you. With the Smart Recorder, you build flows one robust step at a time by clicking on user interface elements, selecting an action from a smart suggestion list and entering the data needed – after which the action is immediately performed.
