Accounts

Working with Browser Profiles in Afina

The "Accounts" section is the central hub of Afina. It is the place where every browser profile finds a home. Users get a smooth experience to create new accounts, import already-prepared profiles, run them, and stop them whenever needed. Furthermore, the section offers reliable management of proxies, groups, tags, tasks, and the additional or encrypted data attached to each account.

Once profiles are loaded into the system, the table presents the entire roster on display. The best part is the convenience: a user can monitor account status, locate any specific profile in seconds with search and filters, and execute bulk actions across many profiles in a single click.

Benefits of the Account Creation Form

• A wide list of profile parameters is available in the "Add Account" form for every business need.
• Users can configure the appearance of every row inside the table with proper settings.
• Downstream automation scenarios easily reach into a profile through these parameters.
• The form supports both individual creation and quick adjustments at any moment.
• Any user can have a smooth experience while building accounts from scratch with a unique configuration.

Once the form is saved, the freshly-built account joins the rest of the entries under "Accounts". From this point, a user can run the profile, edit it, attach it to groups, mark it with tags, link a proxy, and send it into automation tasks. Thus, every newly-created account becomes immediately operational.

Import Profiles

A wide list of reasons exists to use the import feature in Afina. To start with, it offers brilliant speed for bulk operations. Then a user can shift focus to the reliability with already-prepared profile data. The feature is totally effective for migrating a working environment, deploying a large batch of accounts at once, or restoring profiles from a backup file.

Furthermore, the "Import" button at the top of the "Accounts" section provides uninterrupted access to multiple import scenarios. A user picks the import flavor and points at the file with profile data. The platform takes care of the rest.

Moreover, the import feature supports a connected Google Drive integration. So, a user can pull profile data straight from Drive whenever it is configured. After the import wraps, the imported accounts settle into the table and become immediately ready for launching, configuration, and use inside scripts.

Delete Accounts

Different deletion scenarios are available for various business needs. Users can drop accounts one at a time, or wipe a stack at once. For bulk operations, a user ticks the rows in the table with the checkboxes. The bulk option is located inside the extra-actions menu at the top of the "Accounts" section.

Before a deletion clicks through, a user should check that the targeted profile is no longer wired into an active job, a script, or a workflow that is currently running. The reason is simple: a delete operation pulls related settings, tasks, additional data, and work history along with the account. Thus, an unintended deletion may bring extra losses.

On the other hand, deletion is not always the right move. Many users prefer to pull a profile out of jobs, shift its tag, swap its group, or switch its proxy. The positive part is that the account simply sits on the bench for a while without any data being permanently removed.

Additional Account Data

Each profile in Afina can carry an extensive load of extra data. The data is exactly what scripts and automation jobs reach into during execution. Some examples are logins, passwords, seed phrases, tokens, identifiers, internal-use values, and any other parameter that should look different from one profile to the next.

The best part of this functionality is reusability. One script can be used everywhere with consistent results. Each profile plugs in its own values whenever the script reaches that profile. Instead of cloning the script per profile, a user simply prepares the data correctly. Thus, automation becomes more flexible.

Furthermore, Afina offers two flavors of extra data: standard and encrypted. Encrypted data is reserved for sensitive material that should not sit around in plain text. Examples include passwords, private keys, seed phrases, and any other confidential value a user wants to keep secure.

Both kinds of data are imported and exported through Excel. The feature is impeccable for preparing a batch of a hundred profiles in one shot. It is not limited here. Users can also move data between work environments, or stash a backup before any major changes are applied.
