This is especially useful for spot checking frontend changes which are notoriously difficult to spot with automated tests.

Instead, we'll use Browserless to spin up an instance of Chrome to render our previewed webpage on Netlify.

Browserless can programmatically interact with any website, this lets you automate all kinds of possibilities like screenshotting, checking for data, or scraping data.

Browserless ties in with Pipedream with pre-built actions or low code Node.js steps in your workflows. No Chrome binaries to install or scaling necessary - just connect your API key and you're good to go!
