Short answer

How can I start and track agent workflows in chat?

You tell your AI to start a task, and it uses the connector to trigger the specific Relevance AI agent you need. You can then ask for status updates or a full list of active tasks to see exactly where things stand. This gives you a live feed of agent activity right in your chat window.

Task outcomes

Where your agent activity lands.

These are the results of your commands.

TRIGGER

New agent workflows

Your AI kicks off a specific autonomous process. You get immediate confirmation that the agent has started its work.

MONITOR

Real-time status updates

Check on a specific running task. Your AI pulls the current stage of the workflow so you know if it's still running or finished.

AUDIT

Full task history

Pull a list of all recent agent activities. This helps you keep track of what has been completed and what is currently in the queue.

HUMAN

Manual intervention

The AI reports when a task is stuck or finished. You decide when to step in or start a new instruction based on the results.

The workflow

What your AI does when you request a task.

The AI acts as the bridge between your chat and the Relevance AI engine.

  1. Launch the agent

    When you ask to start a process, the AI sends the command to Relevance AI to begin the specific workflow you requested.

    trigger_agent

  2. Check progress

    If you ask how a specific job is going, the AI looks up the current state of that individual task.

    get_task_status

  3. Review activity

    You can ask for a summary of all recent work. The AI gathers a list of all tasks handled by the agents.

    list_agent_tasks

  4. Report results

    The AI translates the technical status of the agent into a plain English update for you.

    get_task_status

FAQ

How task management behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI start any agent in my Relevance AI account?

    Yes, as long as the agent is configured to be accessible via the connector.

  • 02

    Can my AI change the settings of an agent?

    No. The AI can only trigger agents, check their status, or list their tasks. It cannot modify the underlying agent configurations.

  • 03

    Will the AI delete my completed tasks?

    No. The tools provided only allow for triggering, listing, and checking status. There is no tool to delete or modify task history.

  • 04

    How do I know if a task failed?

    You can ask the AI for the status of a specific task, and it will report back the current state, including any errors reported by the agent.

  • 05

    Can I stop a running task through the chat?

    No. The current tools only allow you to monitor and trigger tasks, not to cancel or kill a running process.
