User Guide

Thank you for using our code for your browser agent.

About your agent

Give your user agent a name

You will be prompted for this as the page loads, which takes awhile, so thanks for your patience. (If you wait too long, a random word will be used as the name. See instructions later for deleting that agent.)

The agent page

Your agent has an agent page, allowing you to make connections.

This page has a link, "links" to its link page (beside the heading "Connections").

The links page

Your agent has a link page, giving you direct links to your connected accounts.

This page has a link at the bottom, "agent" to return you to the agent page.

The inbound router

Use information provided to you out-of-band to configure your inbound router. This is done on the agent page. Afterwards, you can do everything else on the links page.

A story line for practice

Other websites also have agents, which you can operate (on their behalf!). You will do so as we progress through a sample story.
