Journeys: Record a journey session

Creating journeys manually can be time-consuming. A browser extension lets you record a journey session with all the steps. Each action and the elements they are acted on are captured and saved for the accessFlow scanner to run an audit. The journey is executed during the regular audit process and the results are displayed in the dashboard.

Recording a journey is supported on Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge.

Note: If you have configured steps to bypass a login wall, accessFlow automatically executes these steps and logs you in to the site before executing the steps in the journey. See Bypass a login wall
