# Guides: Understand Action Statuses and Approvals
URL: /docs/guides/statuses-and-approvals

Know what the assistant is doing and when it will ask.

Nudgly is careful with anything that leaves your account or cannot be undone. This guide explains what to expect.

**Runs on its own.** Reading your calendar or inbox, drafting replies, summarising, notifying you. These are safe and happen without asking.

**Asks first.** Sending an email, making or cancelling a booking, deleting something. The assistant pauses and asks for your approval, showing you exactly what it is about to do.

Statuses you will see:

<Statuses>
  <Status name="Requested / Confirmed / Holding" tone="wait">
    In Bookings, while a reservation is in flight.
  </Status>
  <Status name="AI Drafted" tone="hold">
    In Emails, drafts wait here until you approve.
  </Status>
  <Status name="Run result" tone="good">
    In Workflows, each run logs a result and a success rate.
  </Status>
</Statuses>

The rule of thumb: if it changes something outside Nudgly, the assistant asks first.
