How It Works

This connector uses Playwright browser automation to interact with the HelloFresh website on your behalf. It launches a headless Chromium browser, logs in with your credentials, and navigates the site to perform the requested actions.

Note: This connector interacts with the HelloFresh website through browser automation. Website changes may affect functionality. Use responsibly and in accordance with HelloFresh's terms of service.

Security

• Credentials are passed via environment variables only — never hardcoded

• The browser runs in headless mode with no persistent storage

• Sessions are not saved between server restarts
