Home and Activity

Clear what’s waiting on you from Home, find any past agent report in Activity, and check today’s automation runs.

Home shows what’s waiting on you today, and Activity is the searchable inbox of everything agents have reported.

Where things show up

You want to	Go to
Answer an approval or decision an agent is waiting on	Home → Needs you
See which products have work queued	Home → Products
Confirm today’s scheduled work ran	Home → Automation today
See live incidents	The incident banner at the top of Home
Find an older report, finding, or alert	Activity at app.cloudthinker.io/activity (bookmark it: there’s no sidebar link)
See every run of every automation	Automations → Runs

Each item only appears if your role can view the product it belongs to.

A Home card whose data can’t load hides instead of showing an error. If a card is missing, see Troubleshooting.

Clear what needs you

1. Open Home

   Click Home in the sidebar, or sign in. The Needs you card shows up to four items, newest ask first. There’s no overflow list: older asks stay in the product they came from, and each one moves up as you clear the newer ones. Each row names the item, the kind of ask, and how long it has waited.

   Success state: you see the card with rows, or the line Nothing is waiting on you. An empty card is the goal.

2. Open an item

   Click a row. It opens the place where you answer (see the table below). The row’s action reads Review for approvals and decisions, Open for everything else.

3. Answer it

   For a chat approval, the action card shows what the agent wants to run. Click Approve, Approve and draft rule (approves now and drafts a rule so similar actions stop asking), or Decline. For other items, follow the What you do column below.

   Success state: the agent continues in the conversation, and the item leaves Needs you.

Item	What it means	Where it opens	What you do
Chat approval	An agent paused for your sign-off, per your Approvals settings	The conversation	Answer the action card
Subagent waiting	A subagent needs your input	The conversation	Answer it in the Agents tab of the side panel
Runbook approval	Resolve wants to run a runbook, a predefined fix procedure	The incident	Check the runbook’s steps, then approve or decline them
Keeper approval	A keeper (a scheduled scan that checks your cloud against detection rules) paused before an action	The conversation	Answer the action card
Incident decision	A Resolve investigation found a cause, paused for your input, or stopped, and needs your call	The incident	Review the cause and remediation suggestions, or answer what CloudThinker asked
Ready to merge	A pull request (merge request on GitLab) passed Review with nothing left unresolved	Its page in Review	Merge it in your Git host
Connection error	A connection lost access	Connections	Fix the credential, then click Retry

Items older than 30 days drop off the card. The work itself stays in its product.

Read the Products card

The Products card has one tile per product your role can see: Optimize, Review, Cyber, and Resolve. Automation has its own card, below. Click a tile to open that product.

Product	Status line examples	What it counts
Optimize	$1.2K/mo to save, No savings found	Monthly savings agents found. This is potential, not money already saved
Review	3 reviews queued, No reviews queued	Open pull requests CloudThinker hasn’t finished reviewing
Cyber	2 open criticals, Connect an app	Open critical findings. Connect an app shows before your first app
Resolve	1 decision waiting, No decisions waiting	Incidents where the investigation is done and waits for you

Check today’s automation runs

The Automation today card lists each automation scheduled or run today, with a count such as 5 runs · 1 failed. Rows call out failures and runs waiting for approval. Click Manage to open Automations.

For anything older than today:

1. Open the Runs list

   Click Automations in the sidebar, then the Runs tab.

2. Open a run

   Click a run to see its chat.

   Success state: the run’s conversation opens, showing what the agent did and any action still waiting for approval.

Status	Meaning	What to do
Pending	The run is queued and hasn’t started	Nothing yet
Running	The agent is working	Nothing. Open it to follow along
Required Approval	The run paused on a write that waits for an approver	Open the run and answer the action card
Succeeded	The run finished	Read the result in its chat
Failed	The run stopped on an error	Open its chat to see where it stopped
Cancelled	The run was stopped before it finished	Nothing, or run the automation again

Respond to the incident banner

When incidents are live, a banner sits above everything else on Home and shows up to the three most severe. Hover over it to fan out the stack, then click an incident to open it. No live incidents means no banner. Incidents in the banner aren’t repeated in Needs you.

Find a past report in Activity

The bell in the top bar opens a quick panel with Notifications and Alerts tabs. For anything older or harder to find, use the full Activity page.

Neither the bell panel nor the sidebar links to Activity. Open it by URL and bookmark it.

1. Open Activity

   Go to app.cloudthinker.io/activity. Reports are grouped by day, newest first.

2. Narrow the list

   Type in Search activity, or click the filter icon and set Read state (All or Unread), Category (a product), and Workspace (shown when you belong to more than one). Each active filter shows as a chip above the list. Click a chip to clear it.

   Success state: the list shows only matching reports.

3. Open or tidy a report

   Click a row to open the finding, review, incident, or conversation it reports on. Use the row menu to Mark as read, Mark as unread, or Archive, or click Mark all read to clear the unread count.

To choose which events reach you by email, Slack, Microsoft Teams, or Google Chat, see Notifications.

Troubleshooting

A teammate sees an item I don't

Home and Activity only show what your role can view. An incident decision, for example, appears only if you can view Resolve. Ask a workspace admin to check your role.

An item left Needs you without anyone acting on it

It was older than 30 days. See Clear what needs you. Open the product it came from to find it.

A card is missing from Home

A card hides when its data can’t load, instead of showing an error. A working card with nothing in it never hides: Needs you reads Nothing is waiting on you. and Automation today reads Nothing is scheduled for today. Automation today also needs permission to view automations. Reload the page, then ask an admin about your role. If the card is still missing, email [e-mail] with the card name and your workspace.
