Tasks: progress, logs and retry

Read background-operation results and retry failed accounts.

Start a task#

Select accounts and check the parameters in the relevant Actions form. After starting, open Overview for queue state, progress, start time and results. Closing the tab does not cancel a server task.

Open the logs#

Click Logs in the task row and read the result for each account or recipient. Success, skip and error mean different things: a skip explains why an action was unnecessary or a target did not qualify.

Stop or retry#

Use the available cancellation button. Completed actions are not rolled back; an in-flight request may finish before the task stops.

When Retry is available after completion, it creates a task for affected accounts. Fix the cause first. A temporary Steam limit needs a cooldown; incorrect data needs a settings change.

Operation-specific parameters are covered in friend cleanup and showcases.

Broadcast parameters#

In Actions → Broadcast Messages, choose accounts and a prepared template. Check the minimum interval and skipping recently messaged or replying friends. Additional exclusions account for trader friends, unavailable trading, inventory value and privacy. Filters reduce the recipient list; prepare the text in the template editor.
