Approvals and confirmations

See when Shotomatic asks you to approve an agent or confirm a deletion, a lower history limit, or a Workflow schedule.

On this page

Shotomatic asks you in two cases. The approval happens once per agent. A confirmation happens every time an agent wants to do something that is hard to undo or that runs later without you.

Approval

The one-time approval card is described in Connect an AI agent. It stays valid until you select Remove in Settings > AI agents or turn off access.

Confirmations

A confirmation card names the agent and says what it asked for. It has two buttons and applies to one request.

RequestWhat the card saysButtons
Delete Documents or Capture SessionsLet "agent" delete N items? and lists each item with its kindCancel, Delete
Lower the Capture History limit so that old sessions are removedLet "agent" delete N old sessions? and the new limitCancel, Delete
Save a Workflow with a schedule, or resume a paused WorkflowLet "agent" schedule a Workflow? and the Workflow nameCancel, Confirm
Shotomatic confirmation card asking whether to let an agent delete two items, listing a Document and a Capture Session
A deletion card lists every item before anything is removed.

Things to know:

  • Deleting cannot be undone. Deleting a Capture Session does not delete Documents made from it.
  • Lowering the Capture History limit permanently deletes the oldest sessions and their screenshots. Documents made from them are kept.
  • A scheduled Workflow runs only while Shotomatic is open and counts toward your plan like any capture. You can pause or delete it on the Website Capture page.
  • If you do not answer within a minute, nothing happens.
  • Shotomatic asks one question at a time.

Agents cannot delete Workflows or saved Website Capture options. Pausing a Workflow does not need a confirmation.

Refuse or stop at any time

Select Cancel to refuse a request. To end an agent's work, select Disconnect in the status row, remove the agent in Settings > AI agents, or turn off Let AI agents use Shotomatic.
