The tool runs as a DevTools panel and also produces GA4/GTM analytics insights from the same session, and is available on the Chrome Web Store with paid BPMN and Insights plans.", "body_md": "Documenting a process is one of those tasks everyone needs and nobody enjoys. You *know* the flow — the checkout, the onboarding, the backoffice approval — because you run it every day. But turning that into a clean **BPMN diagram** means stopping, reconstructing every step from memory, and dragging boxes around for an hour.\n\nSo I built **Sevenda**: a Chrome extension that watches you do the flow once and hands you the diagram.\n\nSevenda records a browser session and uses **Claude** to generate a real **BPMN 2.0 process diagram** out of it — the kind an analyst would draw by hand: multiple named pools, typed messages between participants, technical annotations on the side. You click through the flow; it produces the swimlanes.\n\nIt runs as a **DevTools panel**, so it lives right next to the app you're documenting.\n\n`.bpmn` file you can open in any BPMN tool, plus an editable diagram right in the panel.\nSame session, second output: **GA4 / GTM analytics insights** — a read on the tracking and events firing across the flow, for the analytics crowd.\n\nBusiness analysts, QA engineers mapping test flows, product people documenting features, consultants capturing a client's as-is process, and devs who'd rather click through a flow than hand-draw it.\n\nSevenda is on the **Chrome Web Store**, tested and ready, with paid plans available (BPMN and Insights modes). You can try it today.\n\nIf you document processes for a living — or just dread it once a quarter — I'd love your take. **What's the flow you'd point it at first?** 👇", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/from-clicks-to-process-automatically-i-built-sevenda", "canonical_source": "https://dev.to/sevendaextension/from-clicks-to-process-automatically-i-built-sevenda-2a87", "published_at": "2026-10-07 17:44:36+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-10-07 17:46:51.526178+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-products", "ai-tools", "large-language-models", "generative-ai"], "entities": ["Sevenda", "Claude", "Anthropic", "Chrome Web Store", "Google Analytics 4", "Google Tag Manager", "BPMN 2.0"], "also_reported_by": [], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/from-clicks-to-process-automatically-i-built-sevenda", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/from-clicks-to-process-automatically-i-built-sevenda.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/from-clicks-to-process-automatically-i-built-sevenda.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/from-clicks-to-process-automatically-i-built-sevenda.jsonld"}}
