How to take and AI analyze screenshots in Zapier

Learn how you can automate web page screenshots and have AI analyze the screenshot images based on your custom prompts in Zapier.

Introduction

Using the PagePixels Screenshots Zapier app, you can easily automate screenshots and run AI-powered analysis on the captured images.

To accomplish this, you can use PagePixels' Take a Screenshot of a Web Page and Analyze the Image With AI Action in Zapier. This Action captures web pages and sends the screenshots to OpenAI (creators of ChatGPT) for visual analysis guided by your custom text prompts.

OpenAI technology is ready to go in the PagePixels Screenshots Zapier app. No OpenAI keys are required, and all PagePixels accounts get 25 FREE AI Analysis credits per month.

Once you've set up your AI analysis screenshot automation in Zapier, you can connect it to thousands of apps Zapier supports, like Slack, Google Sheets, and OneDrive.

As an example, this tutorial demonstrates how to automate daily AI analysis website screenshots and email the AI analysis results using Zapier's Gmail integration.

How to capture and have AI analyze screenshots in Zapier

To take and have AI analyze web page screenshots according to your prompt in Zapier:

1

Create a new Zap

Click "Create", then select "Zap" from the list of options.

2

Set up your Trigger app event

Click "Trigger" and select the app event that starts your Zap.

For example, you can use Zapier's Schedule "Every Day" app event to trigger your screenshot automation at a specified time each day.

Click "Continue" and configure your desired schedule.

Click "Continue" again, and test your Trigger.

Click "Continue with selected record" to finish setting up your Trigger app event.

3

Set up your PagePixels Action app event.

Search for "pagepixels" and choose the "PagePixels Screenshots" app.

Select the Take a Screenshot of a Web Page and Analyze the Image With AI Action event.

Authorize or choose which PagePixels account you want to use, and click "Continue."

Enter instructions for how you want the AI to analyze your screenshot into the AI Prompt field and the URL of the web page you want to screenshot into the Website URL field. Click "Continue."

Click the "Test Step" button.

Preview the test response.

4

(Optional) Use AI analysis data in another Zapier app.

Click the plus "Add Step" button, and select your desired app.

For example, we'll use the Gmail app to send an email containing AI analysis data in the body of the message.

Search for and select Gmail from the list of apps, and choose the "Send Email" action event.

Authorize or select which Gmail account you want to use, and click "Continue."

Complete the required input fields.

To add AI analysis data from the PagePixels Screenshots action to your email message, click the plus button or use the forward slash (/) command in the Body field.

Note: In the example image above, we set "Body type" to "HTML" and use HTML tags to format the email message.

Click "Continue."

Click "Test Step" to test your email message.

Click "Publish" to activate your Zap automation.

EXAMPLE RESULT

This email message was created from the AI Prompt, AI Response, and Screenshot Direct Image Link properties.

Your Zap screenshot automation is now active, and will automatically run at the time interval you set in the Zapier Schedule app.
