# Vision

> Start a legacy webpage automation task during a call.

<Warning>
  Vision is a legacy block and is not recommended for new flows. Website changes may cause its tasks to fail.
</Warning>

Use **Vision** to start an external webpage automation task during a live call in an inbound or outbound flow. Phonely sends the URL, objective, success criteria, and any additional information to the service.

<Note>
  The flow continues after the service accepts the task. It does not wait for completion, and later blocks cannot use the task result.
</Note>

## Configure the task

| Field                      | Purpose                                                             |
| :------------------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **URL**                    | The webpage where the task should run                               |
| **Objective**              | The specific action to attempt                                      |
| **Success Criteria**       | How the automation service should determine that the task succeeded |
| **Additional Information** | Optional key-value details the task may need                        |

Keep the objective focused on one task and make the success criteria observable. For example:

* **Objective:** Submit the contact form with the provided customer details
* **Success Criteria:** The website displays a confirmation that the form was submitted

The objective, success criteria, and additional information can use variables available at the block.

## Test the task

The **Test** tab uses separate test values and starts a real task on the specified webpage.

1. Use a webpage and account that are safe for testing.
2. Enter a test URL, objective, success criteria, and any additional information.
3. Select **Initiate Task**.
4. Review the task status, steps, and available screenshots.

You can cancel the task before it completes. Test again whenever the webpage or its interaction flow changes.

## Limitations

* Websites that require authentication, verification challenges, or unpredictable interactions may not work reliably.
* Ask AI does not create or configure Vision blocks.
* Prefer [API Request](/blocks/api-request) or an [integration](/integrations/overview) when the service provides a supported alternative.

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="The test task does not start">
    Confirm that the test URL, objective, and success criteria are present. The Test tab uses its own values rather than the values configured for the live flow.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="The task fails or stops working">
    Confirm that the webpage is still accessible and that its layout or interaction flow has not changed. Simplify the objective and success criteria, then run another controlled test.
