Frequently asked questions

Default autonomy?

Suggest only. Err on side of caution.

Different per role?

Yes — Sales Reps may have lower than Owners.

AI mistakes covered by insurance?

Errors fall under SLA. Auto-actions you enabled are your responsibility. Recommend Approve mode first 30 days.

Can a single action be Auto for some leads, Approve for others?

Yes — conditional autonomy: Auto for low-stakes, Approve for high-value.

Voice agent autonomy?

Always requires explicit setup. Within calls, response autonomy configurable.

Can I revoke an Auto action?

Yes within 1 hour: Audit log → click → Reverse.
