Automatically track your team's Claude API usage, generate weekly cost reports, and trigger budget alerts before you hit spending limits.

Workflow Steps

1

Anthropic API

Pull usage data

Use Anthropic's usage API endpoints to fetch daily token consumption, request counts, and cost data for your organization. Set up API keys with read-only permissions for security.

2

Retool

Build usage dashboard

Create a Retool app that queries the Anthropic API data and displays usage trends, cost per project/user, and projected monthly spending. Include charts showing usage patterns over time.

3

Retool Workflows

Generate weekly reports

Set up an automated workflow that runs every Monday, pulls the week's usage data, calculates costs and trends, then formats a comprehensive report with key metrics and recommendations.

4

Slack

Send budget alerts

Configure Retool to send Slack messages when spending hits 75% and 90% of monthly budget. Include usage breakdown by team/project and suggestions for optimization.
