Answer questions and approvals in chat

When Edvin is blocked, respond to the question or approval in the same continuous chat and let the existing work resume automatically.

Updated Jul 13, 2026

What you will have

Outcome

The correct pending request is answered once, recorded in the timeline, and delivered back into the paused work without a manual restart.

01

Read the message as a blocker

Edvin sends a normal message in the continuous team chat when a specific decision, answer, approval, or review is required. The message stays linked to the work and responsible person.

02

Reply with the decision

Choose an available option or answer directly in chat. Only the assigned workspace member can resolve protected requests, and stale or duplicate responses are rejected.

03

Let the work resume

Edvin records the response and continues the same preserved work automatically.

Try it in chat

Use this as a starting point. Add your real goal, source material, and deadline.

Example prompt

Use the European market for this report and continue with the same assignment.

More ways to ask

  • Use the narrower scope: direct competitors in Sweden and Denmark.

  • Approve this exact email and attachment.

  • Request changes: add pricing evidence and make the recommendation more specific.

Things worth knowing

  • You do not need to repeat or restart the original assignment.
  • Open the related work if you need the blocker history or exact approval details.
  • A new message that changes scope may create a new decision rather than answering the old one.
