How do I pause an agent to save credits?

There are two ways to pause an agent:

  1. From Agent Management: Go to Agent Management → Agents tab, find your agent, and use the On/Off toggle in the Status column
  2. From the agent itself: Go to Settings → Main Settings → Actions and toggle the agent off

While paused, the agent stops processing triggers, scheduled tasks, and incoming messages — but stays fully configured and ready to resume anytime.

For more details, see our Agent Management documentation.

How do I write good instructions for my AI agent?

Agent instructions define what your agent should do, how it should behave, and provide necessary context—think of them as a job description for your AI.

Quick tips for effective instructions:

  • Be specific and direct—state exactly what the agent should do
  • Include relevant context (company info, tone, constraints)
  • Use examples to demonstrate expected behavior
  • Start simple and iterate based on testing

Two ways to create instructions:

  1. Click "Instructions" in the agent navbar for direct editing
  2. Use conversational configuration by chatting with the agent
