Era's own steps

Computer task, Connector, Era action and 3 more apps: what they do, what they offer in Era, how to connect them.

Computer task

Let Era use a browser or a whole computer to do a task

Era opens a browser (or your cloud computer, or your own PC through the Era app), works step by step toward the goal and returns what it found. Risky steps — sending, paying, deleting, passwords — wait for a person’s approval. Every step, the live picture and the cost are on the Computer screen.

Workflow steps1

How to connect: Apps (/apps) → Computer task → Connect. Connected accounts show under Settings → Installed apps (/settings/apps) and are used in workflows and Era chats.

Connector

Run a connected MCP connector — the AI picks which operations to call

Bound to one of your org's connected MCP connectors. Pick the connector and describe the task; the block runs an AI loop with only that connector's operations and decides which to call. The connection is the binding — no product/account selection needed.

How to connect: Apps (/apps) → Connector → Connect. Connected accounts show under Settings → Installed apps (/settings/apps) and are used in workflows and Era chats.

Era action

Run a Era module action — the same one a button in the app calls

Calls one kernel action (create a lead, record a payment, send a message…) with the workflow owner’s permissions. Module switches, capabilities, input validation and preconditions all apply, and every call lands in the activity feed.

Era Browser Use

Scrape a URL or search the web

Fetch web content the way Era does. Scrape a single URL to markdown, or run a web search. No API key required — it uses the Era platform browser backend automatically.

How to connect: Apps (/apps) → Era Browser Use → Connect. Connected accounts show under Settings → Installed apps (/settings/apps) and are used in workflows and Era chats.

Era connected app

Call one tool of a connected app — Slack, Gmail, HubSpot…

Runs a single tool of an app this workspace has connected — with the Run-as person’s own account, the company’s, or one you name (Account). The arguments are a JSON object keyed by the tool’s parameter names.

MCP Tool

Execute tools from Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers

Integrate MCP into the workflow. Can execute tools from MCP servers. Requires MCP servers in workspace settings.

How to connect: Apps (/apps) → MCP Tool → Connect. Connected accounts show under Settings → Installed apps (/settings/apps) and are used in workflows and Era chats.
