Donna, the Unobits assistant
Actions and approvals
How Donna shows a job as an itemised list you tick and approve once, when she asks for your password, and what happens when one item fails.
On this page
When Donna is going to change something, she first shows you the whole job as a list. You untick anything you do not want and approve once. What runs is exactly that list — not a fresh guess.
The approval card#
Ask for something like “We just signed ACME — create a project, three onboarding tasks and email Sara the kickoff note”, and you get:
- Untick a row to leave it out. The button counts what will run.
- Approve runs the ticked rows, in order.
- Cancel runs nothing.
Anything Donna cannot do is shown on the card as refused, not silently dropped.
Passwords for sensitive actions#
With Guardrails on (the default), rows that send, delete or touch settings ask for your password. One password covers every row in the same area for five minutes, so a nine-task plan is one prompt, not nine. Being verified for tasks does not verify you for email.
When something fails#
A row that fails does not stop the others. Donna tells you afterwards which rows ran and which did not.
Limits#
- An approval card expires after 15 minutes. Approving later, or twice — say from a restored tab — runs nothing.
- Every action Donna takes is recorded with who approved it and how.
