Bridge Claude Code to Grok Bot through a webhook routine
With no direct API between them, the author found one door after reading 37 doc pages: a Grok Bot routine with a webhook trigger. They wrapped it in 670 lines of dependency-free Python with 56 tests; sends are idempotent and results come back as files.

What they did
With no direct API between them, the author found one door after reading 37 doc pages: a Grok Bot routine with a webhook trigger. They wrapped it in 670 lines of dependency-free Python with 56 tests; sends are idempotent and results come back as files.
Result (as claimed)
Full write-up published.
Tools they used
Cost: Claude Code: free plan, paid from $17/mo; Grok Bot: from $30/mo.
Set it up
Map the task
Write the trigger, the inputs, the decisions and the output. Note which steps need a human yes.
Connect the tools
Set up Claude Code, Grok Bot, Python with the narrowest permissions that work. Use a test account or sandbox first.
Build the workflow
Create the steps in order. Add an approval step before anything sends, pays or deletes.
Run it on real but low-stakes data
Run a few times, read every output, and fix prompts or rules that misfire.
Schedule and monitor
Turn on the schedule or trigger, and add a daily summary or alert so you notice failures.
Copy the full setup prompt
Paste into your agent and it will walk you through the setup, asking before anything that sends, posts or spends.

Ask me 3 short questions about my situation (accounts I have, budget, what I want the output to look like). 2. Propose a step-by-step plan using these tools or cheaper alternatives, with the time and cost of each step. Use official pricing pages; say "check pricing" if unsure. 3. Then do the setup with me one step at a time, waiting for my OK before anything that sends messages, posts publicly, spends money or deletes data. 4. Finish with a checklist to run it again next time.
