Follow-ups

The follow-up engine is how EasyClaw handles work that should not slip through the cracks. Instead of you remembering to reopen a thread, the system can bring the context back in Telegram when it is time to act — aligned with EasyClaw as a background product, not a chat you have to babysit.

What it is

A layer on top of your agent that detects or schedules things that need a second touch (a reply you owe, a task that was waiting on someone, a reminder that deserves more than a silent calendar ping). Delivery is Telegram-first: you see the nudge where you already work.

How it works

1. Something in your workflow is marked as needing follow-up (by you, by the agent, or by an automation).
2. EasyClaw stores the intent with enough context that the next message is useful, not generic.
3. When the follow-up fires, you get a Telegram message you can answer in one thread — often with suggested next steps.

Under the hood this runs on the same managed OpenClaw runtime as the rest of EasyClaw, with budgets so automation stays predictable.

When to use it

• You lose track of “I will deal with this later” items across email, chat, and tasks.
• You want gentle persistence without building a custom bot.
• You already use Telegram and want nudges to feel like a colleague, not a spam bot.

Examples (how you might phrase things)

• “Ping me tomorrow if nobody replied to the vendor thread.”
• “Follow up Friday morning on the proposal draft.”
• “Remind me to check the deployment after standup.”

Exact behavior depends on your agent configuration and plan; the important idea is time-shifted accountability in Telegram.

Limits and plans

Follow-ups consume runs and messaging budget like other agent work. Heavy loops need a stable subscription and headroom. For capability boundaries (Starter vs Pro, trials), see Starter vs Pro and your dashboard Usage — we avoid hard-coding numbers in docs.

Common mistakes

• Expecting follow-ups to read every external system without integrations or clear instructions in Telegram.
• Treating follow-ups as unlimited free messages; they are part of the same fair-use envelope as other runs.
