Restart after a pause or outage

Brings your agents back after a pause, starting with anything that might have gone out. Only jobs that pass a dry run restart.

The ECHO line

It never resends from an old queue: anything that might have gone out is checked against the records first.

For businesses whose agents stopped for a while, by choice or because a tool went down. The restart reconciles anything that might have gone out, re-asks only for permissions that lapsed, and runs each job once on fake data. Only jobs that pass restart, one at a time and with your OK, and you get a short brief on what's back and what's still paused.

At a glance

  • First it reconciles anything that might have been sent. Nothing old is resent.
  • It re-asks only for permissions that lapsed.
  • Only jobs that pass a dry run with fake data restart, after your OK.

Where the lines fall

AI may prepare

  • A list of everything that may have gone out, which permissions lapsed, dry-run results for each job, and a restart brief.

Only after a person says yes

  • Re-granting a lapsed permission.
  • Restarting each job that passed its dry run.

Human reserved

  • Deciding what happens to anything that may have been sent, booked or charged around the pause.
Stops when

A send, booking or charge can't be confirmed either way, a dry run touches anything real, or a job fails its dry run.

Steps

  1. Record Auditor

    Reconciles anything that may have gone out (sends, bookings, charges, and every queued or scheduled item) against the sent folder and the provider's records.

    AI
  2. You

    Decide what happens to each uncertain or half-finished item. Nothing is resent from an old queue.

    You
  3. You

    Re-grant only the permissions that lapsed or were revoked; unchanged ones stay as they were.

    Your OK
  4. A person

    Runs a dry run for each paused job with fake data and test contacts: no real customers, sends, bookings or payments.

    AI
  5. The Counter

    Checks the dry-run results: every test item handled, nothing sent for real, counts that add up. Lists which jobs passed.

    AI
  6. You

    Restart only the jobs that passed. Jobs that failed stay paused and visible.

    Your OK
  7. Owner Brief

    Briefs you: what was reconciled, what restarted, what's still paused and why.

Model fit

Best fit
  • Everyday assistant
Also fits
  • Deep reasoning
Avoid
  • Personal agent (acts for you)

An everyday assistant can coordinate the restart from exports you paste in. Use a deep-reasoning model to reconcile long send or booking logs. Keep the coordinator read-only until you approve each restart; the jobs themselves come back on their usual models.

These are samples. Fill in the [INSERT] blanks and adapt each one to your business.

A pasted role guides the agent. Your tool's settings are what stop an action.

Settings that enforce it

  • Before restarting, open each tool's queue and scheduled jobs, and cancel anything you don't want to fire (often under "Scheduled", "Outbox" or "Automations").
  • Keep the coordinator's access read-only while it reconciles.
  • Set up a test contact or a test inbox for dry runs, so fake data never reaches a customer.
  • Write down who does each job by hand if the AI stays down.
  • If your tool can't do one of these, leave that part of the job with a person.

One check before you trust it

Schedule one test follow-up to your own number, then pause the agent. At restart, the run should find it in the queue and hand it to you, without sending it.
