Responding to a continue prompt appropriately

The situation

They received a message that seemed to require no action, but they still had to figure out the best way to handle it. The message was a prompt to continue, but it did not specify what to do next. They had to decide whether to take some action or just keep the message as context. They considered the implications of each option and thought about what would happen if they chose to act on the message or not. They also thought about how they would know if they had made the right decision.

What they weighed

• Act on the message and verify the result

• Keep it as context when no action is called for

  Chosen

What they decided

Keep it as context when no action is called for

Why

The message was a continue prompt, which meant it did not require any new action. They confirmed this by doing a transcript sweep, which showed that no action was owed. They decided that keeping the message as context was the best option because it allowed them to move on without taking unnecessary action. They were able to do this because they had a process in place for handling messages like this.

The first step

Nothing to carry out, just keep as context

How they would know it worked
