Your devices
Connect several devices to one account on the Max plan. Each device has a role, and only one device carries out a critical step.
Device roles
Every device registered to your account has one of these roles:
Observer
Shows the progress and results of your tasks.
Controller
Can also answer the agent's questions and approve actions.
Executor
Carries out browser steps, using the sign-ins stored on that device.
Only one executor carries out a critical step such as a purchase, so two devices never act on the same order at once.
You can answer a question or approve a purchase on a different device from the one doing the work. Mobile companion apps for this are planned.
What is stored where
On your device
- Passwords, cookies and sessions for other websites, in a vault protected by the operating system
- The browser profiles the agent uses
- The device key that links this device to your account
On T4Agent's servers
- Your account and the list of your devices
- Your tasks: their workflow, state, history and results
- Your approvals and decisions
When a device is offline
Tasks survive a lost connection and restarts of the app or the server, and continue where they stopped.
Long-running work, such as tracking a delivery or waiting for an email or a status update from a provider, continues on the server while your computer is off. Steps that need your browser wait until an executor device is back online.
Backup, restore and handoff
PlannedBacking up device data, restoring it on a new computer and handing a running session over to another device are planned for the Max plan. They are not available yet.
Until then, local data exists only on the device that created it.
Removing local data
Uninstalling T4Agent keeps the folder %APPDATA%\T4Agent with the device key, the vault and the browser profiles, so a reinstall can continue.
To remove all local data, delete this folder after uninstalling.
