Actions

What an Action is

Every Action is three things: a trigger that decides when it runs, an agent with a prompt that says what to do, and a run history that records every attempt. The agent works in a chat, so you can read the transcript, the cost, and the tools it used exactly as you would for a chat you started yourself.

Create an Action

1. Open Actions and choose New Action.
2. Pick when it should fire: a schedule, a signal from another tool, or an event inside idapt. Then fill in that trigger's own settings on the same screen.
3. Pick the agent, write the prompt, and set a monthly cap. The prompt is what the agent receives on every run.
4. Press Run a test to see the exact prompt that would be sent and what the gates would decide. It creates nothing and costs nothing.
5. Review the summary and choose Create Action. It appears in Active and runs on its trigger from then on.

Runs

Each run is a separate chat. The run list shows the status, the origin, and the attempt count, and the arrow on a row opens the chat that run produced. A run that failed is retried from the same row, and a run that is still in flight can be cancelled.

Cost

The monthly cap is the most an Action may spend in a calendar month. When a run would cross it, the run stops and asks instead of spending. Every run also records its own cost, so the total is the sum of the rows you can see.
