Log in by sharing your session

The simplest way to automate login is to share your browser session. axiom.ai stores your cookie, and when the automation runs, you're already signed in.

For other login methods, see Google Sheet steps, VPS, 2FA, password managers, or secure login.

Store cookies for desktop runs

The desktop runner shares your browser cookie by default. Run the automation from a window where you're already signed in to the web app, and the session is reused automatically.

Store cookies for cloud runs

For cloud runs, you have to opt in to cookie sharing on a per-automation basis.

1. In the automation, click the kebab menu in the top right corner and select Settings.
2. Click Store cookies under run options.
3. Toggle Local cookies are used to Stored cookies are used.
4. Click Populate from Axiom to fetch the cookies.

Sessions expire

Sessions can last up to 100 days but eventually expire. To renew, resync the cookies using the button in the Store cookies settings panel.

Turn on error notifications

When using cookies for cloud runs, turn on error notifications so you find out as soon as a session expires.

1. In the automation, click the kebab menu in the top right corner and select Settings.
2. Click Set up notifications under run options.
3. Toggle Notify when run fails on.
4. Choose to be notified by email or webhook.
