Builder FAQ

Can I write code to control automations or process data?

Yes. axiom.ai supports JavaScript and a subset of Google's Puppeteer API.

How do I bypass captchas?

axiom.ai doesn't have an in-house captcha solver but integrates with 2Captcha for the most common captcha types.

How do I get started building an automation?

Follow the guide for your first automation in the browser and pick a starting point that matches your use case.

How do I get my automation to log in to a site?

When you trigger an automation from the Chrome extension on the desktop, axiom.ai uses your local browser session, so you're already logged in. When triggering remotely (via the API, a webhook, or a schedule), you'll need to handle login as part of the automation. See the full login guide for the available approaches.

How do I make a loop?

axiom.ai supports conditional logic, a dedicated Loop through data step, and complex patterns built with jump steps. For details, see the loop documentation.

Can a deleted automation be restored?

No. Deleted automations are permanently removed and can't be recovered.

Can I share an automation with another user?

Yes. Download the automation as a JSON file and the other user can import it into their own account. See import or download an automation.

How do I deal with Google token expiry?

Google revokes tokens periodically as a security measure. The most common triggers are password changes and high-frequency reads or writes. When a token expires:

1. Re-authenticate. Reconnect your Google account in axiom.ai. Token expiry can't be resolved automatically.
2. Set up notifications. Enable run notifications so you find out as soon as a token-related run fails.
3. Reduce read/write frequency. Frequent reads and writes correlate with token expiry. If your token expires often, run the automation less frequently. If you're not sure how to reduce frequency without breaking the automation, contact support with details of your sheet usage.

Can I automate a Chrome extension?

Limited support. axiom.ai can interact with extensions that modify pages directly (for example, by injecting buttons or fields into the DOM). Extensions whose UI lives in popups or dedicated windows aren't accessible to axiom.ai.

Can I use Python?

No. JavaScript is the only scripting language supported in steps. For the JavaScript step, see Write javascript.

How do I insert line breaks in the Enter text step?

In the Enter text step, toggle Custom line break on and record a unique key sequence. Make sure all whitespace is removed from the recording, then use the recorded sequence wherever you want a line break in the text.

For step-by-step instructions, see the insert line breaks guide.

Can I trigger an automation from a Google Apps Script?

Yes. Use the axiom.ai API from your Apps Script. For a worked example, see the Google Apps Script trigger guide.

How can I send multiple paragraphs in one message? When I add spaces, they send separately.

This is common on social platforms like Instagram and Facebook, where pressing Enter sends the message instead of inserting a line break. Follow the insert line breaks guide for the workaround.
