How do I let Claude search the web in a message?

Short answer: You can message with web search in Anthropic by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Anthropic Message with Web Search action to a workflow, map its 4 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ

Questions about Message with Web Search.

What does the Message with Web Search action do in Anthropic?

Sends a message with Anthropic's built-in web_search tool enabled. Claude fetches fresh web results inside the model call and cites them in the response. Removes the need to wire up an external search API.

What inputs does Message with Web Search require?

Required: Model, Question. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.

Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?

Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.

What happens if Anthropic returns an error?

The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Anthropic returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.

Does Message with Web Search support batch operations?

Run Message with Web Search inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Anthropic's rate limits.
