Pause and approvals

Pause stops every message, post, comment and routine from your workspace at once, while your AI agent can still read. Approvals hold what your agent writes until you approve, edit or reject it.

What it does

Pause stops all sending in one step, and approvals let you check what your agent wants to send before it goes.

Example

Your AI agent: A reply is waiting for your approval. To Tom on Instagram: "Yes, we can do Saturday at 11. Shall I book it?"

You: Approve it, but make it 11:30.

Sent to Tom: Yes, we can do Saturday at 11:30. Shall I book it?

An illustration of an approval with an edit. Tom is not a real customer.

Pause everything in one step

Sometimes you want everything to stop at once: you are changing your prices, something has gone wrong, or you simply want a quiet day. Pausing the workspace stops every reply, new chat, post, comment, reaction, connection request, email, scheduled message and routine. You can add a reason, and your agent sees it.

Reading keeps working while you are paused, and so does reconnecting an account. Scheduled messages and routines wait instead of failing, and carry on by themselves when you resume.

You can also pause a single API key. That stops one agent or tool that uses that key and leaves the rest working.

Approve before it sends

With approvals on, what your agent writes waits for you instead of going straight out. You can choose to hold posts and comments only, or every write, which also covers replies, new chats and Instagram private replies.

For each one you can approve it as it is, edit the text and send that, or reject it so it is never sent. Your other tools can be told when something new is waiting.

There is also a draft-only key. An agent using it can write replies, new chats, posts, comments and private replies, but every one waits for a person to approve it, even when approvals are off for the workspace.

How to use it with your AI agent

Connect your accounts. In your Spaces dashboard, connect the accounts you already use. WhatsApp links with a QR code, the same way you would link WhatsApp on a computer. Instagram, LinkedIn, Messenger, X and email connect by signing in through a secure link.
Add Spaces to your AI agent. Add Spaces to the AI agent you already use, such as Claude Code, Claude, Cursor, Codex, ChatGPT, Grok, OpenClaw and Hermes. Each one has a short setup page, and most sign in through the browser with no code to copy.
Pause when you need to. Pause all sending from your dashboard, or ask your agent to do it. Resume when you are ready.
Review what is waiting. Where approvals are on, ask your agent what is waiting for you, then approve, edit or reject each one.

Things you can say to your agent:

“Pause all sending until I say otherwise. The reason is a price change.”
“Resume sending.”
“What replies are waiting for my approval?”
“Approve the reply to Tom, but change the time to 11:30.”

Which channels support it

WhatsApp: Pause, and approvals for replies and new chats.
Instagram: Pause, and approvals for replies, new chats, posts, comments and private replies.
LinkedIn: Pause, including connection requests, and approvals for replies, new chats, posts and comments.
Messenger: Pause, and approvals for replies and new chats.
X: Pause, and approvals for replies and new chats.
Email: Pause stops every email.

Social networks that are coming soon, such as Facebook Pages and TikTok, will ask you to approve every post and reply.

Limits that apply

Pausing and resuming send nothing, so they use none of the account’s limits.
An approved message goes out through the normal path, with the same per-account limits as any other.
If an approved message would go over a limit, or sending is paused, it stays waiting so you can approve it again later.

Every channel’s limits are on sending limits, and how Spaces protects accounts is on account safety.

FAQ

What does pausing stop?

Every outbound action from the workspace: replies, new chats, posts, comments, reactions, connection requests, emails, scheduled messages and routines.

Can my agent still read messages while paused?

Yes. Reading keeps working, so your agent can still tell you what has come in.

What happens to scheduled messages when I pause?

They wait instead of failing, and carry on by themselves when you resume.

Can I pause just one agent?

Yes. Pausing one API key stops whatever uses that key and leaves the rest of the workspace sending.

Are approvals available for my workspace?

Yes. Approvals are available in every workspace. Turn them on in your settings, or ask your agent to use a draft-only key.

Can I edit a message before approving it?

Yes. You can approve it as it is, send an edited version, or reject it so it is never sent.
