# Acting on a pulse

The four things you can do with a pulse: approve, modify, reject, or skip.

Every pulse that needs you leads with one primary action, and you have four moves.

* **Approve.** The proposed action runs as presented. The approval is stamped on the decision's trace: who, when, what was approved.
* **Modify.** Right idea, wrong detail. Adjust the proposal, a smaller audience, a different channel, a lower budget, and the updated version comes back for a clean approval. You are never editing a live action, only its proposal.
* **Reject.** Not this, and the system should know it. A rejection is recorded and learned from: rejected proposals shape what gets proposed next.
* **Skip.** Not now. The pulse leaves your queue without a verdict; the underlying situation is not deleted, and if it still matters later, it comes back with fresh evidence.

## What acting does

Acting anywhere resolves everywhere: approve in Slack and the app agrees. Every resolution is terminal and recorded, so the queue only ever shows things that genuinely still need you. Clearing it means you are caught up, not that you dismissed things into the void.

The reasoning is one tap away on every pulse. Reading it before approving is cheap; approving what you have not read is how autopilot gets a bad name.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.aloop.icustomer.ai/pulse/acting.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
