A message in chat can finish the request, ask for missing information, propose longer work, or attach a task that continues beyond the current response. Identify the branch before you review, approve, retry, or start anything else.

​
Identify the response branch

An acknowledgment such as “I’ll analyze this” is not the final result when a task block is still Running or Waiting for you.

​
Review a direct answer

A direct answer stays in the conversation. It may include source disclosures or tool results, but it does not create a separate task row unless a longer run is also attached. Before you use it:
  1. Match the answer to the attached record and requested workspace.
  2. Confirm the provider account, dates, timezone, currency, attribution view, and filters behind decision-driving figures.
  3. Separate measured facts from interpretation and generated recommendations.
  4. Open any linked product record or report instead of treating the prose as the current object state.
  5. Continue in the same conversation only while the source and authority boundary remain valid.
If the answer is generic, do not repeat the same prompt unchanged. Attach the exact record and name the calculation, source, window, and required output.

​
Answer a clarification

Marketer can ask a question before it finishes the current turn or while a longer run is paused.
  • When choices are shown, select one and then select Submit.
  • Choose Type it your own when the listed options do not express the answer.
  • When no options are shown, reply in the ordinary composer.
  • Select Dismiss only when you do not want to answer that question now.
Keep the answer narrow. A response such as “Use the US prospecting campaign in the attached Meta account” resolves identity; it should not also introduce a new objective, provider, and launch request. For a question inside an existing run, wait for the run state to move from Waiting for you back to Running or Working. Do not create a duplicate run while the answer is being delivered.

​
Review a proposal to start longer work

Proposal controls depend on what Marketer is preparing. The exact title and start label appear on the proposal you are reviewing. Use that card as the source of truth instead of assuming every proposal has the same controls.

​
Cancel the proposal

Choose Cancel when the displayed work should not start. Canceling a proposal is different from stopping a run: a proposal has not created the proposed background run yet.

​
Edit the proposal

Choose Edit or Edit brief when the outcome is useful but its instructions, inputs, output count, steps, or review boundary are wrong. Marketer returns the proposal text to the composer so you can revise it. The old proposal does not continue.

​
Start the proposal

Choose Accept & Run, Approve & Run, or Run it only after you verify:
  • The requested outcome and attached records
  • The workspace evidence the run will use
  • Every production or generation step
  • The expected output and where it will appear
  • The authority boundary for later connected-account changes
Starting the proposed run does not grant blanket permission for an action the result may later recommend. A run can pause again on a specific question or approval.
A proposal preserved in older conversation history may no longer be actionable. If its controls are absent, prepare a new proposal from current workspace and provider state instead of trying to dispatch old work.

​
Follow the task after it starts

Marketer task in progress with searched source chips, a completed step, a current step, and remaining work

A running turn exposes searched sources, completed work, the current step, and what remains.

The task view can show:
  • A live Working for… timer
  • Searched source chips
  • Completed, current, and pending steps
  • A task title and step count
  • A specialist or nested run in Agents
  • Stop while the selected run is non-terminal
The timer describes elapsed work, not an estimated completion time. A searched source chip shows that the source was consulted; it does not by itself prove that the final conclusion is supported.

​
Review the terminal result

Completed Marketer task with a final result, three completed steps, and suggested follow-up requests

The completed task separates the finished result, checked steps, and optional next requests.

At the end of the run:
  1. Read the final lifecycle state.
  2. Compare the checked steps with the plan you accepted.
  3. Open Outputs or the linked artifact.
  4. Verify the deliverable against the original request.
  5. Confirm any created brief, creative, campaign draft, workflow, or report in its owning surface.
Suggested follow-up chips are separate requests. They are not evidence that Marketer already wrote copy, generated another creative, changed a campaign, or launched anything.

​
Recover from the wrong branch

Choose Edit or Edit brief and make the boundary explicit: request analysis only, name the final answer, and remove production or generation steps.
State the missing deliverable, steps, evidence, and completion criteria. Ask Marketer to prepare the longer work as a reviewable proposal when you want to inspect it before it starts.
Edit the proposal. Split unrelated research, creative, campaign, and workflow outputs into separately reviewable runs.
Open the selected run and determine whether it needs a question answered or an approval decided. Use the interaction attached to that same run.
Open the final output and Activity detail. Check for failed or partial branches, then retry only the missing part after resolving the cause.

​
Next step
