Call this tool
Connect a user's Browser Use account once, then configure and run Create Session from your backend or agent.
import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"
const pd = new PipedreamClient({
projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
projectEnvironment: "production",
})
const result = await pd.actions.run({

configuredProps: {
browser_use: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },

Inputs
Pipedream supplies the connected account. Your application provides the operation-specific values below. Dynamic inputs are resolved against that user's account.
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
task Task | string | Natural-language instruction for the agent. Example: Go to example.com and summarize the pricing page. Required when dispatching to an existing session. Optional |
model Model | string | Browser Use agent model. claude-sonnet-4.6 is balanced, claude-opus-4.6 is most capable, and gemini-3-flash is fast and lower cost. Optional |
sessionId Session ID | string | Select a Browser Use agent session or provide a session ID. Optional Dynamic |
keepAlive Keep Alive | boolean | If true, the session stays idle after the task completes so it can accept follow-up tasks. Optional |
maxCostUsd Max Cost USD | string | Maximum total session cost in USD. Example: 1.50. Optional |
profileId Profile ID | string | Select a Browser Use profile or provide a profile ID. Optional Dynamic |
workspaceId Workspace ID | string | Select a Browser Use workspace or provide a workspace ID. Optional Dynamic |
proxyCountryCode Proxy Country Code | string | Lowercase proxy country code for browser traffic. Examples: us, de, jp. Enter none to disable Browser Use's proxy. Optional |
outputSchema Output Schema | object | Optional JSON Schema for structured output. Example: {"type":"object","properties":{"price":{"type":"number"},"title":{"type":"string"}}}. Optional |
enableScheduledTasks Enable Scheduled Tasks | boolean | If true, the agent can create scheduled tasks tied to your project. Optional |
sensitiveData Sensitive Data | object | Optional key-value pairs available to the agent through secure placeholders. Example: {"password":"secret-value"}. Keys are visible to the model; values are hidden but may appear in screenshots if typed into unmasked fields. Optional |
enableRecording Enable Recording | boolean | If true, Browser Use records the browser session and returns recording URLs after completion. Optional |
skills Enable Skills | boolean | If true, enables built-in Browser Use agent skills such as file management. Optional |
agentmail Enable AgentMail | boolean | If true, provisions a temporary email inbox for the session. Optional |
cacheScript Cache Script | string | Controls deterministic script caching. Auto enables caching when the task contains @{{value}} placeholders and a workspace is attached. Optional |
useOwnKey Use Own Key | boolean | If true, uses your configured LLM provider key instead of Browser Use managed keys. Optional |
autoHeal Auto Heal | boolean | When script caching is active, validates cached script output and reruns the full agent if the result looks incorrect. Optional |
