Keep agents going after completion
Use completion notifications and Voice Follow-up to know when work stops and send the next instruction.
Agent Completion and Voice Follow-up solve different parts of the handoff after an agent finishes a turn.
- Agent Completion tells you that a supported agent stopped.
- Voice Follow-up opens a voice or text reply that can be returned to a supported live session.
Turn on the handoff you want
- Open Settings in Agent Approve.
- Allow notifications if prompted.
- Turn on Agent Completion when a notification is enough.
- Turn on Voice Follow-up when you want to send the next instruction from your phone.
- Check Integration capabilities to confirm that the agent supports follow-up input.
When Voice Follow-up is enabled for a supported integration, its prompt can replace the completion-only notification for that stop event.
Send the next instruction
Keep the agent process and its interactive session open. When the follow-up prompt arrives, type a response or use iPhone dictation, then send it. The integration injects the message into the live session and the agent can begin the next turn.
Voice Follow-up does not reopen a process that has exited. One-shot CLI commands do not have a live session available for the returning message. Hermes is more limited: it accepts Voice Follow-up only in its classic interactive CLI, not in gateway, single-query, cron, or Kanban worker sessions.
The Voice Follow-up setting in Settings is the account default. To keep prompts on the agent you work with directly and off for scheduled or headless work, set each agent or Hermes profile to On or Off from the Agents tab. See Control it per agent.
If you only want to know that work finished, leave Voice Follow-up off and use Agent Completion notifications. If a prompt fails to open or return, follow Voice Follow-up troubleshooting.
