Trent Brown : Hi all. Just signed up 15 min ago and am trying to deploy my first “real” code. It’s cool that I don’t need to manage my own package.json file, but it seems that the package I need is not supported. Can I request that it be added? My only “require” statement at the top of my file:

const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');

Dylan Sather (Pipedream) : Hi , thanks for signing up and reaching out. We’re tracking Puppeteer support here, if you’d like to follow that for updates.

I personally use a service called Browserless to run Puppeteer workflows in Pipedream. It’s a paid service, but relatively cheap. Here’s an example workflow, and you’ll see some Pipedream actions associated with Browserless that facilitate common steps.

Trent Brown : Ah. That’s very helpful, Dylan. Thanks. I don’t mind paying for the browser service, so I think that can work

Dylan Sather (Pipedream) : ok great. If it helps, here’s another, more recent workflow I built to find my father in law a COVID vaccine: COVID Alerts - Pipedream

Trent Brown : Very nice, thanks!
