The Anthropic Claude step sends text to Claude using your company's own Anthropic API key. Bizomate does not pay for or resell AI use: Anthropic bills your account, and each run's output shows the tokens it used.

Who can do this

Workspace Admins and Editors, on any plan — Anthropic is not a premium connection. On Anthropic's side, someone who can create API keys in your organisation's Claude Console, which needs credit or billing set up.

Steps

In Anthropic, make the key:

Sign in to the Claude Console at console.anthropic.com.
Open Settings, then API keys.
Select Create Key. Name it — for example Bizomate — and choose its workspace.
Copy the key. The Console shows it only once.

In Bizomate, add the connection:

Select Connections in the bar at the top, then + Add connection.
Under AI, select Anthropic. It reads "Stored credential".
In Connection name, type a name — for example Consulace Claude.
Paste the key in API key. "Stored encrypted. It is never shown again after you save."
Optional: if the key has an end date, choose it in This key expires on · optional.
Select Save connection.

The toast "Connection added" says "“Consulace Claude” is ready. Every workflow in this workspace can use it."

What happens next

In the designer, the Anthropic Claude step lists it under Connection: "Your company’s own API key, kept in Connections."
The step offers the models Claude Sonnet (the default), Claude Opus and Claude Haiku.

Good to know

There is no Test for an AI key. Run the step once in the designer — that is the test.
To use a new key: in the connection's panel select Revoke, then Reconnect, and paste the new key. Workflows using it fail between the two, so do both together. Within 30 days of a date you entered, Replace key does the same in one go.
To keep spending in check, set spend limits in the Claude Console.

If something goes wrong

"Anthropic refused the API key. Replace it on Connections."	The key was mistyped, disabled or deleted.	Make a new key and reconnect with it.
"Anthropic says too many requests, or the account is out of credit. Set this step to try again, or check the account."	Anthropic's rate limit, or no credit left.	Add credit in the Console, or set the step's If this step fails to try again.
"Anthropic did not answer in time."	Anthropic was slow.	Run it again.
"Could not reach Anthropic: …"	Anthropic could not be reached.	Try again in a few minutes.
