How do I run a Firecrawl agent?

Short answer: You can run firecrawl agent in Firecrawl by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Firecrawl Run Firecrawl Agent 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.

Inputs

The fields this action accepts.

Every field can be mapped from an upstream trigger, AI step, table row, or hard-coded literal.

Field	Type	Required	Description
Starting URL url	string	Optional	Optional. If blank, the agent runs in discovery mode and decides where to look based on the task + schema. Provide a URL when you want the agent to anchor to a specific page.
Agent Task prompt	string	Required	Natural-language instruction for the agent. Be specific about what to do and what to extract. Examples: "Click the Pricing link and extract every plan name with its monthly price." or "Return the title and points of the top 3 stories from the front page."
Agent Model model	options	Optional	Which Spark model to use. Mini is the Firecrawl API default and works well for most tasks; switch to Pro only if Mini repeatedly fails on a specific page.
Output Schema schema	json_schema	Optional	Define the shape of `data` you want the agent to return. Leave empty to get prose output instead of structured JSON.

FAQ

Questions about Run Firecrawl Agent.

What does the Run Firecrawl Agent action do in Firecrawl?

Runs an agentic browse task — Firecrawl's agent navigates the site and performs the configured extraction goal. For complex scraping that requires sequential page navigation or form interaction.

What inputs does Run Firecrawl Agent require?

Required: Agent Task. 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 Firecrawl returns an error?

The workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.

Does Run Firecrawl Agent support batch operations?

Yes. Run Run Firecrawl Agent inside a Loop node to process arrays. TinyCommand handles Firecrawl's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
