Auto-pause duration

How long the AI stops replying after you answer manually.

Pause after the latest team reply.

Overview

Each new team reply restarts the configured auto-pause. With 1 hour selected, a reply at 15:40 pauses AI until 16:40. Applies to team replies in Entagl Inbox and connected Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger and TikTok apps. Explicit manual pauses and indefinite pauses are preserved. The default duration is 1 hour.

Features

Duration slider

Pick any value between 1 minute and infinite. The slider maxes out at "24 hrs / ∞" for an indefinite pause.

Team replies

Applies to team replies in Entagl Inbox and connected Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger and TikTok apps. Explicit manual pauses and indefinite pauses are preserved.

Common tasks

Set the auto-pause duration

About 1 min
  1. Open the sidebar → Configuration → Agent Configuration → General.
  2. Scroll to Auto-Pause Duration and drag the slider — from 1 minute up to indefinite.
  3. Save your change. Each new team reply restarts this duration.

Tips

If you regularly take over conversations for a few minutes, set it to 30-60 minutes. If handoffs are rare but always lead to a full human conversation, bump it to several hours.
Setting this to maximum (indefinite) means the AI stays paused until you manually resume — don't forget to resume, or it stays silent.
