Human-in-the-loop approvals for agent workflows

Some steps shouldn't run unattended: sending a draft to a customer, choosing which leads to contact, filling in a detail only you know. Agent workflows can now stop and ask. The run parks with a Paused status, the question appears on your hub and on the execution's page, and once you answer, the agent picks up exactly where it stopped.

How it works

• Opt-in per workflow. You write when to pause, for example "Pause to confirm the draft email before sending," and the agent only gets the pause tool when pausing is on.
• One question per item. Three posts needing approval means three questions you page through; the run resumes only when every open question has an answer.
• No question without a decision. If a run finds nothing to approve, it finishes without asking.
• State survives the wait. The agent's files are saved while paused, and waiting time doesn't count against the run's time limit.

Where you answer

The hub replaced the home page on April 22, with a Running panel and a Waiting for you panel that collects every open question. Executions open inside the workflow page, with a link you can share.

Also shipped

• Stop any active execution; stopped runs get their own Cancelled status.
