Action Items
Track follow-ups, negotiations, and tasks from conversations
Action Items
Action items are tasks the AI automatically generates from your creator conversations. When a creator asks a question, a follow-up deadline approaches, or a negotiation needs your input, an action item appears so you never lose track of what needs attention.
How Action Items Are Generated
The AI continuously monitors your inbox conversations and creates action items when it detects:
- A creator asked a question that hasn't been answered
- A follow-up is due based on time since last message
- A rate or deliverable needs your decision before the AI can respond
- Content was delivered and needs your review
- A payment milestone was reached and payout should be triggered
- A conversation stalled and needs re-engagement
Action items appear in two places:
- The Action Items panel — A dedicated view accessible from the sidebar that shows all open items across every conversation
- Inline in conversations — When you open a specific conversation, its action items appear below the thread

Types of Action Items
Follow-up
The most common type. Created when a conversation goes quiet and the creator hasn't responded, or when you need to check in on a deliverable timeline.
Example items:
- "Follow up with @creator — no response in 5 days"
- "Check in on content delivery deadline (due March 30)"
- "Remind creator about contract signing"
Negotiate
Created when the AI detects an active negotiation that needs your input. This usually means the creator proposed terms the AI isn't authorized to accept on its own, or the negotiation has reached a point where human judgment is needed.
Example items:
- "Creator counter-offered $2,500 for 3 Reels — approve, counter, or decline"
- "Creator wants to add a Story to the deliverables — review updated scope"
- "Rate exceeds campaign budget by 20% — decision needed"
Approve
Created when the AI has a draft or action ready but needs your explicit sign-off before proceeding. This is a safety mechanism for high-stakes actions.
Example items:
- "Approve AI draft offering $1,800 for 2 posts + 1 Reel"
- "Approve content brief before sending to creator"
- "Approve payment of $3,000 to @creator"
Review
Created when something was delivered or changed and needs your review before moving forward.
Example items:
- "Review submitted content from @creator (3 images, 1 video)"
- "Review creator's updated media kit"
- "Review campaign performance report before sending to creator"
The AI assigns action item types automatically based on conversation context. If an item is miscategorized, you can change its type by clicking the type label and selecting a different one.
Action Item Detail
Each action item includes:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Title | A concise description of what needs to happen |
| Type | Follow-up, Negotiate, Approve, or Review |
| Priority | High, Medium, or Low |
| Conversation | Link to the conversation that triggered this item |
| Creator | The creator involved |
| Created | When the AI generated this item |
| Due | Suggested deadline (if applicable) |
| Context | A brief AI-generated summary of why this item exists |

Priority Levels
The AI assigns priority based on urgency, deal value, and time sensitivity:
High Priority
- Creator is waiting for a response and it's been 48+ hours
- Negotiation involves your highest-budget campaigns
- A deadline is approaching within 24 hours
- Payment approval is pending
Medium Priority
- Standard follow-ups within normal response windows
- Negotiations progressing at a regular pace
- Content review with reasonable deadlines
Low Priority
- FYI items that don't need immediate action
- Long-term follow-ups (e.g., "check in next month")
- Informational reviews with no deadline
You can override AI-assigned priorities. If an item the AI marked as "Low" is actually urgent, click the priority indicator and change it to "High." This also trains the AI to better assess priority for similar situations in the future.
Working with Action Items
Completing Items
When you've handled an action item, mark it as complete:
- From the action items panel — Click the checkmark button next to the item
- From the conversation — Click "Mark Complete" on the inline action item
- Automatically — Some items auto-complete when the underlying condition is resolved (e.g., a follow-up item completes when you or the AI sends a reply)
Dismissing Items
If an action item is no longer relevant, dismiss it:
- Click the dismiss (X) button on the item
- Optionally add a reason (helps the AI learn what types of items are not useful)
Snoozing Items
Not ready to deal with an item right now? Snooze it:
- Click the snooze button and select a duration (1 hour, tomorrow, next week, custom date)
- The item disappears from your active list and reappears at the snoozed time

Quick Actions
Many action items have contextual quick actions that let you resolve them in one click:
- Follow-up items — "Send AI follow-up" button that sends the AI-drafted follow-up message immediately
- Negotiate items — "Accept," "Counter," or "Decline" buttons for rate proposals
- Approve items — "Approve" or "Reject" buttons for pending drafts or payments
- Review items — "Approve Content" or "Request Changes" buttons for delivered content
Quick actions on negotiate and approve items execute immediately. When you click "Accept" on a rate negotiation, the AI sends a confirmation message to the creator right away. Make sure you've reviewed the details before using quick actions on financial items.
Completed Items
Completed action items move to a "Completed" section at the bottom of the action items panel. This serves as an activity log — you can see what was handled and when.
Completed items show:
- The original item details
- Who completed it (you or the AI)
- When it was completed
- What action was taken
Review your completed items weekly to get a sense of volume and patterns. If you're seeing the same types of items repeatedly, consider adjusting your AI agent's auto-send rules to handle those scenarios automatically.
Filtering Action Items
The action items panel supports filtering to focus on what matters:
- By type — Show only Follow-ups, Negotiations, Approvals, or Reviews
- By priority — Show only High, Medium, or Low priority items
- By campaign — Show items from a specific campaign
- By creator — Show all items related to a specific creator
- By due date — Overdue, due today, due this week
Action Items and the AI Agent
Action items integrate tightly with the AI Agent. When the agent is enabled:
- The agent can auto-complete low-risk action items (like sending follow-up reminders)
- High-priority or high-value items still require your approval
- The agent creates action items when it needs human input on decisions outside its configured authority
- You can configure which action item types the agent is allowed to resolve autonomously in Agent Configuration
