Choosing how an agent notifies you Guide

Every Praxivara agent can keep you posted on its work — the question is how. You can have an agent email you a summary, send a message to a channel like WhatsApp, or stay quiet until you check in. This article shows you how to set that up and how to mute an agent when you need quiet.

How agent notifications work

Notifications describe how an agent reaches you after it runs or finishes a task. You choose the method that fits how you like to work: a written summary in your inbox, a quick ping on a messaging channel, or nothing at all until you open the agent yourself.

You set this up in plain English. On the agent's Build tab, tell the AI builder (Stan) how you want to hear from it, and it wires up the right notification behavior for you. You can also review and adjust these preferences on the agent's Settings tab.

Tip: Be specific about when as well as how. For example, "email me a summary only when something needs my attention" gives you a quieter agent than one that reports on every run.

Email a summary

Email is a good default for agents that produce reports, do research, or run on a schedule — you get a written record you can read whenever you like.

1. Open the agent and go to the Build tab.
2. Tell the builder how you want email updates, for example: "Email me a summary each time you finish."
3. Let the builder confirm the change, then run a quick test to see the notification arrive.

Message a channel

If you'd rather get a short, timely ping where you already are, an agent can message you on a connected channel such as WhatsApp instead of — or in addition to — email.

1. Make sure the channel you want is connected to your account.
2. On the Build tab, tell the builder where to reach you, for example: "Message me on WhatsApp when a task is done."
3. Run a test to confirm the message lands on the channel you expect.

Channel messaging depends on your plan and on the channel being connected. If a channel isn't available yet, connect it first, then ask the builder to use it.

Go quiet

Some agents don't need to interrupt you at all — they simply do their work and leave the results for you to find. In that case, you can tell the agent to stay quiet.

1. On the Build tab, tell the builder you don't want to be notified, for example: "Don't message me — I'll check the results myself."
2. Review the agent's work whenever you like on its Deliveries tab and in Files, where its outputs are saved.

A quiet agent still keeps a full record of what it produced, so nothing is lost — you just come to it rather than it coming to you.

Mute an agent temporarily

When you want to keep an agent running but pause the pings — during focused work, off-hours, or a busy stretch — turn its notifications off for a while, then turn them back on.

1. Open the agent's Settings tab, or use the Build tab to tell the builder: "Stop notifying me for now."
2. When you're ready to hear from it again, ask the builder to resume notifications or re-enable them in Settings.

Muting changes only how the agent contacts you — it doesn't stop the agent's work or delete anything it produces while muted.

Choosing the right approach

You can change any of these at any time. If you're not sure which fits, start with email — it's the easiest to read back — and refine from there.
