Every run leaves a receipt
Each time a workflow runs — on schedule, or because you tapped Run now — it opens a run: a timeline of its stages, top to bottom. You can watch it live as it happens, or read it back a year later. Nothing happens off the record.
Every stage on the timeline shows who did it, how long it took, and where it got to:
Done
The stage finished and handed its work on to the next.
Running
The agent is working on it right now — open it to follow along live.
Asking you
The stage paused and needs something from you. It is waiting in your inbox.
Queued
Lined up, waiting for an earlier stage to finish first.
Open any stage to see what it worked from (inputs received), what it produced (outputs), the files it wrote to your vault, what it remembered, and any email it drafted. There is a transcript too, if you want to read its actual thinking.
While a run is going you are in charge of it: Pause it, Resume it, or Cancel it — and start a fresh run any time with Run now.
When an agent needs you
Agents do not barge in. When one hits something only you can settle, the run pauses — politely — and a card appears in your inbox: things your agents need from you. Answer it and the run picks up from exactly where it stopped.
A question
It asks something it cannot decide alone. Type a reply, pick one of the options it offers, or skip it for now.
A file
It needs a document to carry on — a contract, a spreadsheet, a brief. Drop the file in and it continues.
An approval
A yes or no before it goes ahead. Approve it, ask to see the run first, or decline.
An email to send
It drafted a message and held it for you. Review it, edit if you like, and send — or dismiss it.
A permission
The first time it wants to do something that reaches the outside world, it asks for the go-ahead.
Each card tells you which agent, which workflow, which stage, and how long it has been waiting. You can answer right there, or open the full run timeline first. Turn on notifications and you will get a ping on your phone the moment one needs you.
Permissions: nothing leaves without your say
Reading is free. An agent can look through what you have connected — your mail, your calendar, your files — without stopping to ask each time. But the first time a stage tries something that leaves a mark on the world — sending an email, posting somewhere, writing into a folder — it stops and asks, once, for that exact recipient or folder. You allow or deny; it remembers your answer; and you can take any grant back later.
This is why a workflow you have never run before will not surprise you. The consequential step waits in your inbox the first time — and only the first time.
How a pause goes
- 1
A stage needs you
Mid-run, an agent hits a question it cannot answer, a missing file, or a step that needs your yes.
- 2
It waits in your inbox
The run pauses and a card appears — on your phone too, if you have turned on notifications. Nothing else stalls; other work carries on.
- 3
You answer in a tap
Reply, attach the file, approve, or grant the permission — right from the card, or after opening the run.
- 4
It carries on
The run resumes from exactly that stage, with your answer in hand. No starting over, no lost place.
On your terms
It waits for you, not the other way around.
Runs pause politely, and only for the things that genuinely need a person. Everything else simply gets done and shows up in your vault, with a timeline you can always read back.
Common questions
Where do I see what a workflow actually did?
Open its run. The timeline lists every stage with what it worked from, what it produced, the files it wrote and the notes it took — plus a transcript if you want the detail.
Will agents do things without asking me?
They read freely, but the first time one tries to send, post, or write something out, it stops and asks for that exact recipient or folder — and remembers your answer so it only asks once.
What happens if I miss a pause?
It just waits. The run stays paused and the card sits in your inbox until you reply. Turn on notifications and you will get a nudge when something needs you.
Can I stop a run that is going wrong?
Yes — Pause, Resume, or Cancel any run from its timeline, whenever you like.
