Automation settings
Every automation has its own settings. Control how a bot runs, import or export bots as templates, decide how errors are handled, and manage how the bot uses Chrome.
Running
Control how a bot runs - start page, run speed, scroll behaviour, and scheduling.
Schedule an automation
Run an automation on a recurring schedule by setting a start date, time, and frequency, with optional JavaScript conditions for advanced patterns.
Use a proxy
Route automation traffic through a proxy to bypass bot blocks or geo-restricted content, with guidance on parsing a proxy URL into the right fields.
Configure timezone
Set the timezone used by scheduled cloud automations, instead of the default UTC.
Set up notifications
Receive email or webhook notifications when an automation fails, finishes with warnings, or completes successfully.
Store cookies
Share browser cookies and local storage with cloud runs so logged-in sessions are reused, with optional auto-detection of URLs from your automation.
Set maximum runtime
Set a maximum runtime so an automation stops automatically if it runs longer than expected.
Run headless
Run an automation in headless mode so it executes in the background without opening a visible browser window.
Concurrency
Allow more than one instance of an automation to run at the same time on the cloud or desktop, or keep them sequential when order matters.
Block resources
Block images, fonts, scripts, and other webpage resources during a run to cut bandwidth and speed up automations.
Record and monitor runs
Record your axiom.ai cloud runs to replay the last minute of a run, view console output, and pinpoint exactly when an error occurred.
Run via API on desktop
Let an external webhook or API call queue a run of this automation on your desktop app instead of the cloud.
Import and export
Share a bot as a template or download it as a JSON file others can import.
Error handling
Decide what happens when a step fails - retry, skip, log, or stop the run.
Continue on error
Toggle Continue on error to keep an automation running past failures instead of stopping, with errors shown as warnings in run reports.
Interact with iframes
Enable iframe support so an automation can scrape and click inside embedded iframes, which axiom.ai ignores by default.
Disable page monitoring
Disable page monitoring so axiom.ai stops waiting for page changes between steps, useful when monitoring slows automations significantly.
Chrome
Manage how the bot uses Chrome - bypass bot detection, run in incognito mode, and load other extensions.
Bypass bot detection
Get past Cloudflare and similar bot blockers by attaching axiom.ai to an existing Chrome window that has already passed the challenge.
Set executable path
Point axiom.ai at your local Chrome installation so automations run in Chrome instead of the built-in Chromium browser.
Set a custom Chromium profile
Point axiom.ai at a custom Chromium profile so automations carry over browser settings, downloads behaviour, and other preferences.
Load another extension
Load a Chrome extension into the Chromium window axiom.ai uses, with one extension at a time and known limitations on interactivity.
Run in incognito mode
Force axiom.ai to run an automation in a fresh incognito window with no stored cookies, useful when sessions need to start clean.
