Run automation workflows inside Claude Desktop

Trigger your existing scraping recipes or custom automations without leaving your chat window. Use `run_workflow` to pass input URLs as JSON, letting Claude handle the data collection for you. Check `get_account_usage` before you start to make sure you have enough credits for the job. It keeps your automation tasks within your plan limits automatically.

Monitor execution logs within Claude Desktop

Track the status of your tasks by using `get_execution_logs` to see exactly what happened during a run. You can verify if the process finished or if it hit a snag. If you need the actual data, use `get_workflow_results` to bring the output directly into your conversation. It saves you from switching between browser tabs to copy and paste results.

Manage your Hexomatic configurations

Use `list_workflows` and `list_scraping_recipes` to see what is currently active in your account. You get a clear view of your available tools without needing to log into the web dashboard. You can also use `update_workflow_status` to toggle your processes on or off. It gives you direct control over your automation environment right from your desktop.
