Workflows that read the case and act on it — not just pass it along.
Claude sits inside your existing workflow and does the parts a human would have to do — read the document, make the call, write the response — with the rest of the flow unchanged.

How does Anthropic (Claude) work for workflow automation?
Anthropic (Claude) works for workflow automation by powering a DeskFerry agent that runs the workflow end-to-end inside your existing tools — no code, no custom build.
- 01
Trigger fires
The agent connects to Anthropic (Claude) alongside the other apps your team already uses, watches for the triggers that matter for workflow, and takes the next step on its own while keeping a complete audit trail for review.
- 02
Kick off the post-sale handoff: notify CS in @Slack
Design complex automation workflows with a visual builder — no developers needed.
- 03
Create the project in @Notion
Teams typically see eliminated across connected systems once the agent is in production.
- 04
Book kickoff in @Calendar
You stay in control: every action is logged, confidence thresholds are configurable, and anything ambiguous is queued for a human instead of being silently auto-completed.
- 05
You approve
Anything under your confidence bar waits for a human.
How you tell it what to do
Built in plain English.
You write the rule the way you'd describe it to a teammate. The agent reads the rule, breaks it into the actions it'll take, and confirms the apps it'll touch — before it does anything.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Where does this fit in our existing automation stack?
Wherever a step requires reading prose and making a judgment call. Zapier, Make, n8n, Workato, Tray.io, custom flows — the agent slots in as a step, replacing the 'route to a human for review' branches that today create the bottleneck.
How is this different from a no-code agent or RPA?
RPA repeats keystrokes. No-code agents typically use one model with a static prompt. The agent reads the case, considers the context, applies your judgment criteria, and acts — and surfaces what it's unsure about. The difference is judgment per case, not the same script repeated.
What about human-in-the-loop steps?
First-class. Each agent step has a confidence threshold; below it, the case routes to a human's queue with the agent's reasoning. The human's decision becomes calibration data for the agent.
Auditability?
Every agent step logs: the inputs, the decision, the reasoning, the action taken, and (if reviewed) the human's override. Exportable for SOC 2 / HIPAA / regulated industries.
What if the workflow needs to evolve?
Edit the agent's instructions in plain English. The agent re-reads its instructions on each run; there's no model retraining or redeployment step. New rules apply immediately and are versioned.
