is it possible to automate a web application with a kind of clickbot with node red? So I mean, is there a pre-made palette for this?

Hmm, kind-of, maybe.

You can use the http-request node to issue get/put/etc requests to web endpoints. But this has the limitation that it won't trigger any javascript on the target endpoint.

Then there are a number of nodes that use Puppeteer or WebdriverIO. These will trigger javascript on the endpoint.

So yes, you can do it, but it is perhaps slightly more complex than you realise.
