​

Creating Your Account

To get started with Altrina, visit app.altrina.com and sign up for an account. You can create your account using either:

• Email Signup: Enter your email address and create a password
• Google Sign In: Click the “Sign in with Google” button to use your Google account

Once you’ve created your account, you’ll be taken to the Altrina dashboard where you can start creating and managing your workflows.

​

Navigating the Dashboard

The dashboard provides an intuitive interface where you can manage workflows, test the browser agent, and access integrations.

​

Workflows (Home)

The home page is your workflow command center:

• View all your saved workflows in one place
• Create new workflows using the visual Studio
• Run existing workflows instantly
• Monitor active workflow runs in real-time
• View workflow history and past results
• Schedule workflows to run automatically

​

Playground

The Playground is your interactive testing environment:

• Start browser agent sessions with natural language directives
• Watch the AI work in real-time
• Take control of the browser at any point
• Send new instructions mid-execution
• Perfect for testing before creating automated workflows
• Each session is tracked with full action history

​

Integrations

Connect your Google Workspace account to unlock powerful automations:

• Gmail: Email management and automation (17+ actions)
• Google Drive: File and folder operations (16+ actions)
• Google Calendar: Event scheduling and management (14+ actions)

Authenticate once with OAuth, and Altrina handles all subsequent API calls securely.

​

Knowledge Base

Store and manage files that your workflows can access:

• Upload documents, spreadsheets, and other files
• Reference files in workflow directives
• Store credentials and configuration data
• Access files across all your workflows

​

Creating Workflows

​

Getting Started with the Studio

Click “Create New Workflow” from the home page to open the visual Studio where you can build automation workflows:

​

Building Your Workflow

Add nodes to define the steps in your automation:

• Directive Nodes: Use natural language instructions
  • Example: “Login to the dashboard and navigate to the reports page”
  • Example: “Find all emails from last week and summarize them”
  • The AI interprets these instructions and executes them intelligently
• Action Nodes: Specify precise actions with JSON parameters
  • Use pre-built actions for Gmail, Calendar, Drive
  • Execute browser commands (click, type, navigate, extract)
  • Combine multiple actions in sequence
• Connect Nodes: Draw connections between nodes to define the execution flow
• Edit & Rearrange: Drag nodes, edit directives, and restructure your workflow visually

​

Managing Workflows

Once your workflow is ready:

• Save: Store the workflow configuration
• Run Now: Execute immediately and watch it run
• Schedule: Set up recurring runs (hourly, daily, weekly, custom cron)
• Version Control: Save multiple versions and restore previous iterations
• Duplicate: Clone workflows to create variations

​

Monitoring & History

• Active Runs: Watch workflows execute in real-time with live browser view
• Run History: Review past executions with full action logs
• Version History: Track changes to your workflow over time
• Output Data: Access structured results from each run

​

Troubleshooting

Here are some common issues and solutions:

• Workflow Not Starting:
  • Check your credit balance in Settings
  • Ensure all nodes are properly connected
  • Verify that directives are clear and specific
• Integration Errors:
  • Re-authenticate your Google account in the Integrations page
  • Verify you’ve granted all necessary permissions
  • Check that OAuth tokens haven’t expired
• Browser Agent Issues:
  • Be specific with directives (URLs, exact elements, clear goals)
  • Break complex tasks into multiple nodes
  • Use the Playground to test directives before adding to workflows
• Missing Files in Knowledge Base:
  • Ensure files are uploaded successfully
  • Check file paths match exactly in your directives
  • Verify file permissions and access
