Answer your agent from the lock screen

The agent stops to ask whether to apply a migration while you are out. The question reaches your phone with its choices as buttons, one tap types your answer into the terminal, and the agent is back at work before you put the phone away.

  1. Open Notifications and pick Link Telegram.
  2. Press Start in the detachbox bot that opens. The page picks up the link by itself.

Telegram brings up to three of the agent's choices as buttons on every device where you use it.

2. Or turn on push on your phone

  1. On an iPhone, add detachbox to the Home Screen first and open it from there. On Android, Chrome works as it is.
  2. Open Notifications and pick Turn on for this browser, then allow notifications.
  3. Pick Send a test ping to see one arrive.

A push shows Open and as many of the agent's choices as the phone fits next to it.

3. Pick what pings you

Under What pings you, tick Needs you, so a question reaches you, and Done, so you know when to hand out the next task. If you don't see a ping within 10 minutes, you also get an email.

4. Answer from the ping

When the agent asks "Apply this migration? 1. Yes 2. Yes, and don't ask again 3. No", the ping carries the question and the choices. Tap Yes, and detachbox types its number, 1, into the terminal.

  • The answer lands only while the terminal still shows that same question, so a late tap never answers the next one.
  • A ping's buttons work for 30 minutes.

5. When the answer needs more than a tap

Tap the ping itself to open the terminal on your phone. The key bar has 1, 2, 3, y, n, Enter and the arrows. Dictate a longer instruction with the microphone: the text is pasted, not sent, so you read it before Enter. Phone shows the whole key bar.
