Gates

Operator conversations that have stopped to wait for your answer.

Gates lists the Operator conversations you started that ended on a question for you. An agent working for you needed a decision, and nothing moves until you answer.

Select Gates in the top bar. The page describes itself exactly: "Conversations you started that have stopped to ask you something. Open one to answer it." It is in both Console and Control Center, and the two are independent: Console's Gates lists only Console Operator conversations, and Control Center's lists only Governance Operator conversations.

A request waiting on you, and the agent that asked.

What each request shows

Part	What it tells you
Title	The conversation it came from, for example Add Dashboard Page with Key Metrics
Agent	Who is asking, for example App Builder Agent
Requested	How long it has waited, for example Requested 11 mins ago

Select a request, or its arrow, to open the conversation at the question. A request from another project opens in that project. The page refreshes on its own while it is open, so new requests appear without reloading. Switch between list and grid with the icons at the top right.

Only your requests appear here, and only you can answer them. A conversation you started waits for you, not for a colleague who happens to open it.

Answer a request

In the conversation, the question sits in a card above the composer, naming the agent that asked:

Pick an answer, write your own, attach a file, or skip.

• Pick a numbered answer, when the agent offers choices.
• Write your own in Answer in your own words….
• Attach a file, when the agent asks for one, such as a brand guide or a spreadsheet. A question that offers numbered answers doesn't take a file.
• Skip, to let the agent carry on without an answer.

Once you answer, the request leaves Gates and the work continues.

Notes and limitations

• An unanswered request holds up the work. A conversation that ends on a question waits until you answer. Check Gates when something you started hasn't finished.
• Requests are per space. Console's Gates doesn't show Control Center conversations, and the other way round.
