# Get Browser Name

This is a pre-built Action located under the **@Browser Element**. The functionality of this Action in Avo Assure is to retrieve the name of the browser used during debugging or execution. The result of this Action is stored in a dynamic variable for further use during test execution.

### Example: Retrieving the Name of the Currently Running Browser

In this example, we explain how to retrieve the name of the browser currently used during execution using the **Get Browser Name** action.

**Action**: Get Browser Name

* **Input Value**: N/A
  * The **Get Browser Name** action does not require any input value. It fetches the name of the browser is used at runtime (e.g., Chrome).
* **Output Value**: {Name}
  * The retrieved browser name (e.g., Chrome) is stores in this **{Name}** dynamic variable
  * If a second output variable is provided, the action returns the status as True/False:
    * **True**: If the browser name retrieved successfully.
    * **False**: If the browser name is not retrieved successfully.
* **Logical Explanation**: The **Get Browser Name** action executes without any input value and identifies the browser is used during test execution. The retrieved browser name is stored in the **{Name}** variable (e.g., Chrome).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.avoautomation.com/avo-assure/actions/web/browser/get-browser-name-1.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
