Workflow Name
Sell a Used Car
Key Features and Highlights
This workflow automates the entire process of obtaining used car valuations and purchase offers. It simulates user interactions on the selling platform (https://sell.peddle.com/instant-offer) by automatically filling in vehicle information, clicking relevant buttons, waiting for page responses, and intelligently parsing the offer details. The highlight lies in the integration of Airtop’s automated web operations with intelligent code parsing, enabling a fully unattended, end-to-end automated offer retrieval.
Core Problems Addressed
Traditional used car selling processes are cumbersome, requiring users to manually input vehicle details, click page controls, and wait for offers, which is inefficient and error-prone. This workflow solves these issues by automating operations and applying intelligent decision-making, thereby streamlining the process, improving efficiency, and preventing omission of offer information. It helps users quickly obtain accurate vehicle valuations.
