Remote Browser Script Execution via n8n Webhooks — Anyone Doing This?

Built with n8n
1

Hi all!

I’m working on a browser automation setup and wondering if anyone here is triggering remote browser scripts using n8n webhooks?

:gear: The General Flow I’m Exploring:

  • Use n8n as the orchestrator (cron or webhook-based trigger)
  • When triggered, it sends an HTTP request to a local or cloud browser agent
  • That browser spins up an isolated session (unique fingerprint + proxy)
  • It runs a scripted behavior (e.g., signup form fill, simulate scrolls, etc.)
  • Extracts session data (cookies, localStorage, etc.)
  • Sends the result back to n8n for processing or storage

:test_tube: Tools I’m Testing:

  • Browser side:
    I’ve been experimenting with a stealth browser called Hidemium — it’s designed for fingerprint-isolated sessions (like Multilogin, AdsPower, etc.)
    What I find useful is:
    • You can control profiles remotely via a local API
    • There’s a prompt-based scripting engine (you describe actions in plain language, it builds the script)
    • Profiles are fully isolated — great for testing automation scenarios across different identities
  • n8n side:
    • Standard Webhook node to receive external triggers
    • HTTP Request node to send commands to Hidemium’s local API
    • Function node to dynamically build browser actions or assign proxies
    • Optional: push results into MongoDB/Redis for state tracking

:bulb: Real-World Use Cases I’m Prototyping:

  • Gmail or SaaS account signup automation (with captcha solving via CapMonster)
  • Simulated “user flow testing” with randomized behavior
  • Multi-location testing of geo-personalized content (by pairing proxy + browser fingerprint)
  • Identity management sandbox for QA

:jigsaw: Challenges:

  • Error handling for script timeouts
  • Managing dozens of browser instances without system overload
  • Session re-use: extract and re-inject cookies or tokens across flows

:mag: Curious:

  • Is anyone else doing remote browser orchestration like this with n8n?
  • Have you built a local agent or browser API wrapper that talks to n8n?
  • Any experience using Hidemium or similar tools via webhooks?

Would love to hear about your stack or trade notes. Happy to share code snippets, too.

This is super interesting — does Hidemium expose a REST API for triggering profiles and scripts? Would love to see how you structured the webhook call in n8n. Any sample payload or function node logic you could share?
