Zapier Mass-Application Automation

This repository contains a tiny script that uses the browser-use agent to apply to every currently open position at Zapier in one go.

Prerequisites

1. Python 3.11 or 3.12 (per the upstream browser-use quick-start; Python 3.13 currently works for most features but the optional memory extra still requires <3.13).
2. API key(s) for the LLM you want the agent to run on (e.g. OPENAI_API_KEY).

Installation

Follow these steps—copy-paste friendly and OS-agnostic:

1. Clone & enter the repo (skip if you already have the files):

   git clone https://github.com/yourname/zapier-automation.git
   cd zapier-automation

2. Create a virtual environment (recommended):

   python -m venv .venv
   source .venv/bin/activate  # Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate

3. Install Python dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Install Playwright browsers once (headless Chromium will be downloaded):

   playwright install chromium --with-deps --no-shell

5. Add your LLM key(s)—create a .env file with at least:

   OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...

6. Patch browser_use - open .venv\Lib\site-packages\browser_use\controller\service.py and delete the below block of code:

if await browser_session.find_file_upload_element_by_index(params.index) is not None:
   msg = f'Index {params.index} - has an element which opens file upload dialog. To upload files please use a specific function to upload files '
   logger.info(msg)
   return ActionResult(extracted_content=msg, include_in_memory=True, success=False, long_term_memory=msg)

Done! You are ready to run the script.

Usage

# Uses all defaults (Auto Matione, ai.automation@example.com, etc.)
python apply_zapier_jobs.py

# Override just the email and location
python apply_zapier_jobs.py --email jane.doe@example.com --location "Berlin, Germany"

# Override everything
python apply_zapier_jobs.py \
  --legal-first-name "Jane" \
  --legal-last-name "Doe" \
  --preferred-first-name "Jane" \
  --preferred-last-name "Doe" \
  --email "jane.doe@example.com" \
  --location "Berlin, Germany" \
  --work-authorization "I am authorized to work in the country due to my nationality." \
  --how-heard "Zapier Website" \
  --how-heard-details "Wade Foster's tweet about hiring AI automation engineers"

The script fills all required Zapier application fields and uses a standard response about being an AI automation engineer responding to Wade Foster's tweet for any optional text fields.

The agent will spin up a headless Chromium instance, navigate to Zapier's career page, and submit applications to every single job posting. Duplicate submissions are avoided automatically.
