Integration details

Description

AI agents silently stall when they need a human, leaving approvals, questions, and handoffs buried in chat. PingRoom pushes the request to the right person’s phone and sends the response back so work can continue.

Tools

27 tools agents can invoke

Start or resume the onboarding Question in the private room the human chose during authorization. Read question.id, then call wait_for_handoff only while state is pending and within a bounded local deadline. Success is answered with activation_completed true. Any other terminal result is incomplete: stop polling that attempt, then call activate_agent_inbox again for one numbered retry. The stamp requires native phone receipt before the human answer.
activate_agent_inbox
Ask a person a question with 2-4 tappable options, then block on their answer (pair with wait_for_answer). Delivered as a push they can answer from the lock screen or in-app; the first valid answer wins. Rate-limited.
ask_question
Send a custom ping to a room the account belongs to. Rate-limited. Not available in personal rooms (use trigger_quick_action there).
broadcast
Withdraw a still-pending question you asked.
cancel_question
Hand work to exactly one human as either an acknowledgement or a tappable question. The server verifies that one of the recipient's current devices supports the complete Handoff action before creating anything.
create_handoff
Delete an attachment this agent uploaded that is not yet claimed by a ping.
delete_attachment
Fetch the current status of an approval request without blocking.
get_approval
Fetch an attachment visible to this agent as base64 content plus metadata. Results over the connector size limit return attachment_too_large — fetch those via the agent REST API instead.
get_attachment
Fetch the authoritative current state of one Handoff without blocking.
get_handoff
Read back the current state of a live stream you created, so a restarted producer can reconcile instead of starting a duplicate. Only returns streams started by this credential, within the last 24 hours. Returns notification_id and correlation_id, then the stored display state (state, progress, message, category, template, accent_override, eta_at, deadline_at, metrics, prompt, options, left, right, center, steps, current_step), action_state, and updated_at. Fields you never set come back as null rather than being omitted, so a matchup/metrics/countdown/question stream can be resumed without re-sending content.
get_live_status
Fetch one visible ping by notification id, including its current action_state.
get_notification
Fetch the current state of a question without blocking.
get_question
List a bounded page of this agent's Handoffs, newest first. Omit state (or use open) for unresolved work; use all for history and page while has_more is true.
list_handoffs
List a bounded page of recent pings across approved rooms, newest first. Use page to continue while has_more is true.
list_notifications
List a bounded page of questions you asked, newest first. Optionally filter by state; use page while has_more is true.
list_questions
List the quick actions configured for a room.
list_quick_actions
List the room-icon catalog (icon ids, tags, and categories) for interpreting icon values returned by room and quick-action reads.
list_room_icons
List the rooms the authenticated account belongs to.
list_rooms
Start, update, or end a live progress card on the room members' lock screen (an iOS Live Activity / Android live update). Reuse the same correlation_id for every ping of one stream: the first ping starts the card and sends one alert, further "running" pings move it silently, and the first "done"/"failed" sends one completion alert and ends it. Free accounts get a small number of NEW streams per day; updates and the final ping are never charged.
live_status
Ask the human to approve or reject an action, then block on their answer (pair with wait_for_approval). Delivered as a push to the user. Rate-limited.
request_approval
Press a room quick action, notifying its members. Rate-limited.
trigger_quick_action
Upload a small file (max ~90 KiB over MCP; Pro account required) and get an attachment id to include in broadcast or ask_question via attachment_ids. Larger files: use the PingRoom CLI or agent REST API.
upload_attachment
Long-poll a generic acknowledgement-required ping until an eligible recipient acknowledges it, it expires, or the timeout elapses. Questions use wait_for_answer instead.
wait_for_ack
Long-poll a question until it is answered or expires. Returns the state and, once answered, the chosen option value + label and the responder.
wait_for_answer
Long-poll an approval request until the human decides or it expires. Returns the status and, once decided, the chosen option.
wait_for_approval
Long-poll a Handoff until the human resolves it, it expires, or the bounded timeout elapses. For the onboarding Question returned by activate_agent_inbox, success requires an answered result with activation_completed true; use a bounded local deadline and treat any terminal answer without that stamp as incomplete.
wait_for_handoff
Long-poll for the next ping. Blocks until one arrives or the timeout elapses — the real-time inbound channel for an agent. The agent's own sends are excluded.
wait_for_notification

PingRoom FAQ

How do I improve a ChatGPT Plugin's discoverability?

The levers are the listing surface agents actually read: names, descriptions, keywords, tool metadata, and registry health. Which lever matters depends on where discovery breaks, which is what continuous measurement shows.
