Run options
Run options let you fine-tune how an automation runs. From scheduling and proxies to headless mode and stored cookies, this section covers every option in the Run options panel of the Builder settings.
Available run options
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.
