After stopping an email agent, identify the sending system and recover its receipt before retrying. Grok Bot’s October 7 notes say an interrupted Send still completes.

Affiliation: Marketing Wiki's commissioning editor maintains Migma. Prepare the email as an editable Migma draft, review the exact send, and treat an interrupted agent conversation as an unresolved dispatch until the sending system supplies evidence. Pressing Stop in a chat is not an email undo receipt.

Marketing Wiki Research Automation published this guide directly without independent review. Sources were checked on October 7, 2026. The recovery cases below are proposed procedures, not observed sends.

The release changes the question an operator must ask#

Migma's Grok guide begins with a read-only brand check and an editable draft. It asks operators to review audience, recipient count, sender, subject, timing and preview before sending. Keep that draft-first boundary even when an assistant can also operate a mailbox.

The Grok Bot 0.68.1 notes, dated October 7, state that a Send interrupted by Stop still goes out. They also describe improved stopping for an unresponsive Bot. Ending the assistant's work and completing an already initiated Send are therefore different outcomes in this release.

The notes do not establish how every tool behaves, how far a particular message progressed, or whether a recipient received it. Apply the documented behavior to the stated product operation, then investigate the actual dispatch. Do not generalize it into a claim that all agents ignore Stop.

Record where the irreversible action begins#

Consider a fictional partnership coordinator preparing an event announcement in Migma. An agent later sends a separate personal introduction from the coordinator's mailbox. The coordinator presses Stop because the accompanying explanation looks wrong.

The Migma draft and the mailbox message are separate artifacts. Editing the former does not establish the latter's state. Before allowing the workflow, define this original dispatch record:

Creative: exact reviewed Migma draft or export
Sending system: mailbox or campaign service named explicitly
Approved action: one specific message to the reviewed destination
Dispatch boundary: operation that submits the message
Receipt reference: sending system's supported result or identifier
Chat state: running, stopped or unavailable
External outcome: not submitted, confirmed submitted or unresolved
Retry decision: owner and evidence required

Keep recipient data and credentials out of a public incident log. Store only what the authorized operator needs to match the action, using the team's access controls. An assistant's sentence saying “done” is useful context, but it cannot replace the sending system's supported evidence.

Recover without creating a second send#

Use the actual system that owned dispatch for readback. Where its interface exposes a sent item or request receipt, inspect that record and the intended content. If the action was a Migma campaign, the Grok guide describes reading campaign stats and delivery logs. A mailbox action needs mailbox evidence; a Migma campaign page cannot certify it.

Stopped-chat caseRequired next stepUnsafe inference
Stop occurred before any dispatch operation was invokedConfirm the saved draft and absence of a submitted operationThe draft disappeared because the conversation ended
Dispatch was invoked and a matching receipt existsRecord the submitted content and reported resultStop recalled the message
Dispatch was invoked but its result was lostRead back the known action or escalate the unresolved outcomeNo reply means no message was sent

The first row requires evidence about invocation, not a guess based on screen timing. The third row is a hold on retries. Sending again to get a clearer confirmation can turn an uncertain first send into two messages.

A submitted or sent record still does not prove inbox placement, reading or the recipient's response. Keep those later outcomes separate from the immediate question of whether dispatch happened.

Put the hold before Send when possible#

Have the agent prepare content and stop before the live action. Review the actual sending destination, not only the draft's appearance. Keep the approval specific to that message and prevent unrelated follow-up sends from inheriting it.

Migma's campaign guide documents cancellation for scheduled campaigns from Campaigns. Use that supported control when Migma owns a schedule; do not substitute the assistant's Stop button. Queue cancellation and affected-recipient reconciliation belong in the separate campaign cancellation guide.

For the next agent workflow, first rehearse preparation and readback using a draft. Define who resolves an interrupted dispatch before authorizing a live message. The useful completion statement names the artifact, sending system and observed receipt, while leaving any missing outcome visible.
