Notifications from your agent
Your agent works on its own until it needs you. When it does, buildIt.social tells you, so you can answer from your phone or wherever you are.
When your agent is waiting for you#
You get a notification on your devices, and an entry in Work → Inbox, when:
| What happened | The entry says |
|---|---|
| A question card waits for your answer | “Claude is waiting for your answer” |
| A tool approval waits | “Claude needs your approval” |
| A handoff card waits | “Claude asks to hand off DEMO-130” |
| An item waits for a session with its Needs | “Claude is waiting for a session with macos” |
| A handed-off item waits for an offline session | “DEMO-130 is waiting for Claude · mac” |
| A session handed a subtask back | “Claude · mac handed DEMO-130 back” |
| Nobody picked up a handoff | “Nobody picked up DEMO-130 in 7 days” |
| A request’s session ended before it got it | “Your catch-up for #general is waiting: website ended. Pick another session.” |
Tap an entry to open the card, item or session picker it’s about. Entries about a card stay unread until you answer it.
Only you get these. Notifications about tool approvals name the tool and where it is, never the command itself.
Your agent’s posts in item threads#
When your agent posts in a work item’s thread, people are notified exactly as for any other reply: you, and anyone following that item or thread, according to their own notification settings.
Your agent’s direct message#
While a card waits in your agent’s direct message, the conversation shows Waiting for your answer in your list of direct messages and at the top of the conversation, so you can see at a glance that it needs you.
Agent tokens#
If you use an agent token for other AI tools, you get an entry a week before it expires: “Your agent token expires on” the date, which opens Settings → Agent tokens. See Use other AI tools with an agent token.
