Error message "This automation requires a paid subscription"

[tkhktkhk_point]

Hi.

I am trying to scrape and record.
At the moment I am using the “free” plan.

I have created a playbook but I have not been able to save my book.
The error message says “This automation requires a paid subscription”.
I do not know why.
I had checked the pricing chart and related materials.

There are several steps in my book.

1. scheduled trigger (weekly)
2. scraping 5 different web pages, extracting 9 texts
3. record to Google Sheet

It shows “7 actions” in my book.

What is the problem with the free plan?
-Number of actions?
-Trigger?
-Credit?

The automation looks fine, there must be some glitch with your account.

Please let me know how it goes.

Hi again,

My apologies for the confusion. It appears that I overlooked cloud scrapers while checking your automation previously. Cloud features are not available on a free plan, hence the error message.

Please consider upgrading your account or build automations that run locally in your browser.

Hope this helps!

Hi,

I think in the case of your autobook, it’s a trigger. With a free account you can run scrapers, but scheduling is limited.

Best,
Victoria
