Parallel actions 32

Every Parallel action below is a callable tool any Definable persona can invoke.

Add Enrichment to FindAll Run

Tool to add an enrichment to a FindAll run. Use when you need to enrich existing FindAll run results with additional structured data fields. Enrichments define what information to extract from matched entities using a JSON schema.

Add Runs to Task Group

Tool to initiate multiple task runs within a TaskGroup. Use when you need to execute multiple tasks in parallel within an existing task group.

Cancel FindAll Run

Tool to cancel an active FindAll run by findall_id. Use when you need to stop a running FindAll operation before it completes. Cannot cancel runs that have already terminated.

Create Chat Completions

Tool to get realtime chat completions from Parallel AI. Use when you need conversational AI responses or structured outputs via chat interface. Can be combined with Task API processors for research-grade structured outputs with citations and reasoning.

Create Monitor

Tool to create a web monitor that periodically runs the specified query. The monitor runs once at creation and then continues according to the specified cadence (hourly, daily, weekly, or every two weeks). Use when you need to track changes or developments for a specific search query over time.

Create Task Group

Tool to create a new task group. Use when batching multiple tasks for parallel execution. Task Groups enable grouping and tracking of multiple task runs within a single manageable unit.

Create Task Run

Tool to create and initiate a task run. Returns immediately with a run object in status 'queued'. Use when you need to execute tasks asynchronously with Parallel AI processors.

Delete Monitor

Tool to delete a monitor, stopping all future executions. Use when you need to permanently remove a monitor. Deleted monitors can no longer be updated or retrieved.

Extend FindAll Run

Tool to extend a FindAll run by adding additional matches to the current match limit. Use when you need to increase the number of matches for an existing FindAll run that is still active or has completed.

Extract Content from URLs

Tool to extract relevant content from specific web URLs. Use when you need to fetch and extract content from known URLs with optional focusing on specific objectives or search queries.

Fetch Task Group Runs

Tool to retrieve task runs from a Task Group as a resumable stream. Use when you need to fetch all runs within a group, optionally including their inputs and outputs. The stream can be resumed using the event_id as a cursor.

Start FindAll Run

Tool to start a FindAll run. Use when you need to discover and match entities based on natural-language objectives. Supports custom conditions, exclusion lists, and webhook callbacks.

Get FindAll Run Result

Tool to fetch the final (or latest available) FindAll candidates and result payload for a run. Use when you need to retrieve matched/unmatched candidates after a FindAll run has progressed or completed.

Get FindAll Run Schema

Tool to retrieve the schema configuration of a FindAll run by findall_id. Use when you need to inspect the objective, entity type, match conditions, and other schema details for a previously created FindAll run.

Ingest FindAll Run

Tool to transform a natural language search objective into a structured FindAll specification. Use when you need to generate a FindAll run spec from a user's natural language description. The generated specification serves as a suggested starting point and can be further customized.

List Monitor Events

Tool to list events for a monitor from up to the last 300 event groups. Retrieves events including errors and material changes in reverse chronological order.

List Monitors

Tool to list active monitors for the user. Returns all monitors regardless of status with their configuration and current state. Supports cursor-based pagination using monitor_id and limit parameters.

Retrieve Event Group

Tool to retrieve an event group for a monitor. Use when you have a valid monitor ID and event group ID and want to view the execution history.

Retrieve FindAll Run Status

Tool to retrieve status and metadata for a FindAll run by findall_id. Use when you need to poll or check the progress of a FindAll run that was previously created.

Retrieve Monitor

Tool to retrieve a specific monitor by ID. Returns the monitor configuration including status, cadence, query, and webhook settings.

Retrieve Task Group

Tool to retrieve details of a specific task group. Use when you have a valid task group ID and want to view its details.

Retrieve Task Group Run

Tool to retrieve run status by run_id for a task group. Use when you need to check the status of a specific task group run or poll for completion.

Retrieve Task Run

Tool to retrieve run status by run_id. Use when you need to check the status or details of a specific task run. The run result is available from the /result endpoint.

Retrieve Task Run Input

Tool to retrieve the input data of a specific task run by run_id. Use when you need to view the original input parameters that were provided to a task run.

Retrieve Task Run Result

Tool to retrieve the result of a task run by run_id, blocking until the run completes. Use when you need to wait for and fetch the final output of a previously initiated task run. The request will block until the run completes or the timeout is reached.

Parallel Search

Tool to perform parallel semantic search. Use when you need to retrieve top matching documents for multiple queries in a single call.

Simulate Event

Tool to simulate sending an event for a monitor. Use when testing monitor webhooks or validating monitor configurations. Simulates sending an event of the specified type (defaults to monitor.event.detected).

Stream FindAll Events

Tool to stream events from a FindAll run. Use when you need real-time updates on candidate discovery, matching progress, and run status.

Stream Task Group Events

Tool to stream events for a Task Group. Use when you want real-time updates of group status and run completions.

Stream Task Run Events

Tool to stream events for a Task Run. Returns progress updates and state changes for the task run. For runs without enable_events=true, event frequency is reduced.

Suggest Task

Tool to suggest tasks based on user intent. Use when you need task specifications generated from a natural language description of what you want to accomplish.

Update Monitor

Tool to update a monitor's configuration. Use when you need to modify an existing monitor's cadence, query, metadata, or webhook settings. At least one field must be non-null to apply an update.

Frequently asked questions

What can I automate with Parallel on Definable?

Anything Parallel exposes through its API. Common ai web scraping workflows on Definable include automate repetitive tasks, sync data with the rest of your stack, trigger on real-world events. Personas can call any of the 32 Parallel tools directly, then chain the result into another integration without you writing code.

How does Parallel authentication work?

Parallel uses API_KEY on Definable. You connect once from the integrations page, scoped to the permissions you choose, and from then on any persona that has the integration enabled can act on your behalf. Tokens are encrypted at rest and rotated automatically.

Is the Parallel integration included in my Definable plan?

Yes — every Definable plan, including Starter, includes access to all 32 Parallel tools. You only need a separate Parallel subscription if Parallel itself charges per seat or per API call.

Is using Parallel through Definable secure?

Every call from a persona to Parallel is logged with the user, persona, prompt, and response. Tokens never leave Definable's secrets vault, scopes are configurable per persona, and you can revoke access at any time from the integration page.

How do I get started with Parallel on Definable?

Sign up for Definable, open the integrations page, find Parallel, and connect via OAuth or API key. You can immediately attach Parallel to any persona and start running workflows. The free Starter plan includes 5,000 credits/month.

What Parallel actions does Definable expose?

Definable exposes all 32 Parallel actions as callable tools — including `Add Enrichment to FindAll Run`, `Add Runs to Task Group`, `Cancel FindAll Run`, plus 29 more. Each tool gets a typed parameter schema so personas know exactly how to call it.
