The problem it solves

When something breaks and you're away from your computer, you can't just pause the automation causing the problem. You need a fast way to shut things off or turn them back on from your phone, without logging into a dashboard.

Who it fits

An operator or business owner who manages automations and needs to react quickly to issues while away from a computer.

How it works

  1. You send a command like stop or start along with the automation's name in Telegram
  2. The system checks that the message came from you
  3. It matches the name to the correct automation
  4. The automation is activated or deactivated immediately
What you get

Automations you can pause from your phone instantly

You can turn any of your automations on or off instantly by sending a quick message from your phone.

What you get

An automation that is turned on or off within seconds, controlled entirely from a Telegram message.

What you need

A Telegram bot account and administrative access to your automation platform.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
