Lobster Workflow

You can automate a multi-step workflow with human approval gates by defining typed JSON pipelines that pause execution for review. The workflow waits for explicit human approval before proceeding to any steps that trigger side effects.

You resume a paused pipeline after an approval step by using a designated resumption token. This token restores the workflow execution state, allowing the automation to continue seamlessly from the exact checkpoint where it paused.

A resumable subprocess in an automated pipeline is a sequence of operations that can be paused and later continued. It uses tokens to save execution state, ensuring repeatable automations like triaging or syncing can withstand human review delays.

Yes, you can use typed JSON to define pipelines for monitoring and syncing tasks. These JSON-first definitions structure your repeatable automations, allowing you to chain commands and tools across various platforms with optional approval checkpoints.

To run an email triage pipeline with a draft approval checkpoint, you execute a command sequence like searching for new emails and classifying them. The workflow then pauses to present a summary for human approval before sending any draft replies.

No external dependencies are required to run resumable workflow automations. The system operates independently using internal scripts and references to execute typed JSON pipelines, manage approval gates, and handle token-based resumption.
