Hi everyone,
Is it possible to get my AI agent to login to a website and take action? I’m testing a way to auto detect and schedule meetings from emails.
So it detects a meeting request from Gmail (works fine)
Creates that meeting in Google Calendar (works fine)
Logs in to our building’s meeting room system using the set username and password, finds the day of the meeting and books a meeting room for that time (struggling with this part)
Does anyone know if this is possible at all?

Most actions performed by the Zapier AI Agents are back-end automation (server to server).
Whereas what you’ve described is front-end automation (via the browser).

Yes it can be done, but there are a couple of pre-requisites, such as you have to make sure cors are allowed in your buildings meeting room system, as well as it is accessible to the internet. I have done similar work and it is possible, you just have to know the right api’s to call and the right data to pass in the api. But zapier should be allowed to access the backend of your Buildings meeting room system.

That’s a really cool setup! Automating the meeting room booking sounds totally doable, but it depends on how the room system is built some need browser automation (like Selenium), others might have an API. Worth checking if the system allows script-based logins or integrations. Good luck!
+6Hi
Automating a meeting room booking system depends on its integration capabilities. If an API is available, Zapier can be used for direct automation. Alternatively, script-based logins or Webhooks facilitate interaction. Without an API, browser automation tools like Selenium might be required, though Zapier doesn't directly support them. Checking Zapier's integrations can help identify built-in automation options. If unsure, contacting the system's support team for documentation and guidance can clarify viable solutions. Understanding available integration methods is key to designing an efficient workflow.

Getting an AI agent to log in to a website and take action is tricky, but it’s doable especially when using Zapier’s AI Actions combined with OAuth or API-based access.
Here’s what usually works:
Use OAuth / Webhooks over scraping – Bots mimic human login poorly; API auth avoids that headache.
Set up AI Action with OAuth credentials in Zapier so the agent can securely authenticate.
Perform gradual testing — first check login success, then test simple actions like fetching a page or clicking a button via API.
Log responses in real time — Zapier’s built-in task history helps reveal auth failures or missing scopes.
You might find this related post helpful, where someone discussed using OAuth to allow AI Agents to book calendar events (same core flow):
That thread dives into configuring OAuth within AI Actions—a similar challenge to what you’re facing. Once that login handshake is solid, your agent can be trained to do the rest.
