Run it by hand whenever you like. - Every run, with each step - A picture of what it does - Run it now from the page ### Stops itself if something goes wrong If an automation keeps failing, or costs more than you allowed when you approved it, it pauses itself and tells its owner, so a mistake does not keep running. - Pauses itself if it keeps failing - A weekly spending limit you set - Its owner hears about it at once ## How it works - 01 · Ask Volty · Describe the job and when it should happen.
