Groxbot + Heartbeat
Plug-and-play online communities. Heartbeat provides tools for creating and managing online communities with features for users, channels, events, messages, and more.
How a Bot uses Heartbeat
7 Heartbeat tools. Connect under Plugins. The Bot still asks before anything leaves the thread.
- Use Heartbeat the way you would: open it, do the task, come back with evidence.
- Work stays in the Bot thread. Anything leaving Groxbot needs your OK.
- If it hits a login, 2FA, or a paywall, it stops on the computer for you.
Never without you
- Change live Heartbeat settings
- Message anyone outside the Bot thread
First message
Use Heartbeat for this task. Stay in the thread. Stop if you would change anything live.
Tools a Bot can call
A sample from the Heartbeat toolkit. The Bot calls these after you connect. Writes that would go live still wait for approval.
- Get Events
- List channels
- List Groups
- List Users
- Reactivate User
- Retrieve Group
Jobs that use Heartbeat
- Talent scout — Source candidates from the brief. Never email anyone without approval. End with a shortlist and why.
- Bug reproduction — Reproduce the bug from the report. Write steps, expected vs actual, and a minimal fixture. Do not change production.
- Chief of staff — A source-linked digest of Slack, inbox, calendar, and notes — only the items that map to this week’s priorities. Does not send. Does not move meetings.

FAQ
Does Groxbot have a native Heartbeat integration?
Connect Heartbeat under Plugins when it is listed. If not, the Bot still has a real computer — it can work in Heartbeat in the browser the way you would, then stop when it needs a login or approval.
Can a Bot change live Heartbeat data?
Not by default. Groxbot is talk-first: draft in the thread, grant access when it hits a wall. Live Heartbeat writes wait for you.
Do I need a workflow builder?
No. Create a Bot, message it, grant access as needed. There isn't anything to learn — it's like bringing on a coworker.
