Give your AI agent a "brake pedal".
Autonomous agents are cool, but scary in production.
You don't want an agent sending emails to 10k customers without a check.
Introducing the "Waitpoint" pattern 🧵
English
Post
Most queueing systems are binary: Running or Finished.
@triggerdotdev introduces a third state: "Waiting for Input".
The agent runs, drafts the email, and then... STOPS.
It generates a secure token and waits.
English
You send that token to a human (Slack, Email, Dashboard).
The human reviews the draft.
Approved? The run resumes exactly where it left off.
Rejected? The run cancels or loops back to draft again.
English
This enables "Human-in-the-Loop" workflows that can last for days.
- Need approval from Legal? Wait 2 days.
- Need a user to upload a CSV? Wait 1 hour.
No servers spinning. No state lost.
