Amazon Session Task
The Amazon Session task opens a logged-in browser session for accounts in a group and refreshes their cookies. Use this to keep session data up to date or to perform bulk actions across multiple accounts.
Why Refresh Sessions?
Cookies expire over time. If you try to open a session with stale cookies, Amazon will redirect to the login page. Running a Session task periodically keeps your accounts ready to use.
Creating a Session Task
- Go to Tasks and click + New Task.
- Select Amazon Session.
- Fill in the form:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Task name | A label for this task |
| Account group | The group of accounts to process |
| Proxy group | Proxies to use for the sessions |
| Action | What to do after opening the session (e.g. refresh cookies, accept invite) |
- Click Create task then ▶ Start.
What It Does
For each account in the group, Orbit:
- Launches a browser with the account's saved cookies
- Navigates to Amazon to verify the session is active
- If logged in: saves updated cookies back to the account
- If not logged in: marks the account as Unknown (cookies may have expired)
Session Task vs. Opening Manually
| Session Task | Manual Open | |
|---|---|---|
| Runs on all accounts in a group | ✅ | ❌ (one at a time) |
| Refreshes cookies automatically | ✅ | ❌ |
| Requires manual interaction | ❌ | ✅ |
Recommended Frequency
Run Session tasks every 7–14 days to keep cookies fresh. If accounts will be used for Checkout tasks, refresh cookies within 24 hours beforehand for best results.
