Manage an Action’s lifecycle

Every Action shows as a card on the Actions page inside a Project. Hover over a card to reveal its controls.

Pause and resume

Chief: Pausing, resuming & deleting Actions — Pause and resume
Click Pause on an active Action to stop it from running. Its status badge changes to Paused (amber). A paused Action keeps all its settings but never fires until you bring it back. Click Resume to make it active again.

​
Duplicate

Click the Duplicate (copy) icon to create a near-identical Action named “[name] (copy)”. The duplicate is created paused so it won’t run until you review it and resume it.

​
Delete

Click the Delete (trash) icon. A confirmation dialog asks “Delete [name]?” — click Delete to confirm. This cannot be undone.
⚠️ Important: Deleting an Action is permanent and removes its schedule and settings. Past runs already saved to your Library are not deleted, but the Action itself — and its run history — is gone. Pause instead if you only need to stop it temporarily.
ℹ️ Good to know: If an Action shows an “Owner unavailable” banner with a Take ownership button, its creator left the Project. Click Take ownership to transfer it to yourself so it can run again.

FAQ

No. Pausing only stops runs. All your prompt, schedule, recipients, and output settings stay intact and return exactly as they were when you resume.
It may have been paused by another Project member, or its owner left the Project (look for the “Owner unavailable” banner). Take ownership and resume it, or ask a teammate.
No. Deletion is permanent. If you might need it again, duplicate it before deleting, or just pause it.
