Where does each action stop?

Pick a behavior for a rule about email, then send five things your dot might do through the three checks. Change the behavior and send them again.

When your dot wants to: send an email

Your dot will ask for your approval before taking this action.

For this run: Gmail is connected and its permission lets your dot send. Google Calendar is set to Read-only actions. Slack isn't connected.

    Does itIt reads the calendar. Reading changes nothing, so no rule about sending applies and there's nothing to approve.

    Can'tYour dot has no way into Slack, so the action never reaches your rule. A rule doesn't connect an app. Connect Slack first.

  5. Change a passwordOn a supplier's website, in its own browser.

    Hands it to youChanging a password always comes back to you. It's a built-in safety requirement, and no rule overrides it. Your dot does the steps around it and you type the new password yourself.
