Taking over

When a signup needs a human, you take the keyboard. When you are done, the automation picks up where you left off.

When it asks

The signup asks for you when it meets something it should not decide alone — a challenge built to require a person, an unexpected page, a step that needs your judgement. It waits rather than guessing.

Taking control

Open the live view and take over. Your keyboard and pointer input travels over the authenticated API channel to the worker, which applies it to the real browser window. You are driving the same session the automation was driving.

Handing back

There is no "done" button to hunt for. Once the blocking step is cleared, the automation resumes on its own — it is watching the same page you are.

What to do while you are in there

  • Solve the challenge that was asked of you, and nothing more.
  • Leave the form fields the automation filled alone unless they are wrong.
  • Do not navigate away from the flow. The automation expects to resume on the page it was on.

From a phone

Handoffs happen when you are not at a desk. Touch input is translated for you, and a signup can reach you through a short-lived link. See Handoff on your phone.

If you cannot clear it

Some challenges cannot be cleared from where you are — a service may want a different network, or may have decided against the signup entirely. Abandoning the job is a legitimate outcome. See When a signup fails.
