# Resume Bot Automation If a bot stops responding, user messages can go unanswered unless an agent intervenes. To prevent this, we've implemented several ways to resume bot automation seamlessly. Let's explore these methods in detail. ### **Basic Action Resume Bot** #### **Simple and Effective** You can resume automation at any point in your flow using the action node. Here's how: 1. **Navigate to the Action Node**: Find the point in your flow where automation needs to resume. 2. **Select Basic Actions -> Resume Automation**: This will instantly reactivate the bot, allowing it to continue its tasks and respond to users. This straightforward method ensures the bot gets back on track without missing a beat.

### **Resume in Live Chat** In live chat, agents often work within a timed framework. To ensure automation resumes smoothly: 1. **Monitor the Timer**: A timer usually manages the duration of agent responses. 2. **Click the 'X' Sign**: This action closes the timer and resumes the bot's automation.
