Live QA of v0.127.2 found six small problems on the channel settings screens and on event automations. Each fix below is the smallest change that removes the wrong signal, and the real behavior of each screen stays the same.

What users saw, and the fix

  1. The channel panel showed a "Save" button on the "Channels it answers in" row and the footer "Saved automatically" at the same time. The row does need its Save button, because the checked channels are a draft until you press it. The fix removes the footer text "Saved automatically", so the panel no longer claims that every change saves by itself.

  2. Under "Channels it's in", the hint "Invite @ to a channel to add it here." showed even when channels were already listed. The hint now shows only when the list is empty. The Telegram hint "Add @ to a group and mention it once. The group appears here." follows the same rule.

  3. In the Slack people picker, a search such as "mahm" showed a "Wrote to @" section with "No match." right above the person in the "In " section. When another section has a result, the empty "Wrote to @" section is now hidden, and the "No match." line in the workspace section is hidden when the person was found in another section. "No match." still shows when no section has a result.

  4. A project member who cannot see a private agent saw its connection as "Unknown agent", and clicking the row opened "This project has no agents yet. Create one, then connect it here." That row is now not clickable, and its "Manage" menu item is hidden. There is no new text.

  5. Event automations showed the warning "This schedule sends a richer set of inputs than one message — typing here replaces them." It now reads "This automation sends a richer set of inputs than one message. Typing here replaces them." The schedule composer keeps its own text.

  6. When creating an event automation failed because the app connection was not active (the API returns 424), the page showed only "Couldn't create this automation". On a 424 it now shows "Couldn't create this automation. Reconnect the app and try again." The raw API text is never shown. Other errors keep the old message.

For item 6, the message says "the app" and not the app's name, such as "GitHub". The create hook does not have the app's display name, and passing it in would need changes to the event picker and the draft. Owner: please tell me if you want the app name, and I will add it in a follow-up.

Tests

  • New and updated unit tests in agenta-settings-ui cover items 1 to 4. The three affected tests fail on the old code and pass on the new code. All 116 channel tests pass.
  • tsc --noEmit passes in agenta-settings-ui, agenta-automation-ui and agenta-entity-ui, and pnpm lint-fix in web/ passes.

@web/packages/agenta-settings-ui/src/channels/ChannelManagePanel.tsx:
- Line 925: **Do not show the empty-list hint after a failed `listSpaces`
call.**

When `listSpaces` rejects, `loadSpaces` sets `spaces` to `[]` and `spacesError`
to the error. This condition then renders the invite hint as if the list were
successfully empty. Include `spacesError` in the guard so the hint appears only
after a successful empty response.

- Around line 343-344: **Suppress the "By email" empty message when another
section has a result.**

The "By email" empty message at `ChannelPeopleSection.tsx:355-361` does not
check `wrote` or `inWorkspace`. A typed email can match a workspace member
through substring matching, so the message can appear beside that member's
result. The `No match.` guard at lines 343-344 is not the affected branch. The
guard for the email message must be added in the `candidates.some(...)`
condition at lines 355-358.

Apply the same cross-section rule that the other empty states use:

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Automation creation now shows a reconnect-and-retry message for a specific connection error; other failures retain the standard error message.
    • Slack people search no longer shows an empty “Wrote to” section or “No match” message when results appear in workspace or email matches.
    • Connections assigned to agents you cannot access can no longer be opened or managed.
    • Empty-channel guidance is now limited to eligible non-WhatsApp channels with no listed locations.
  • Updates
    • Updated a message to refer to “this automation” instead of “this schedule.”
    • Removed the “Saved automatically” footer and moved the Disconnect button to the right.

The changes update automation creation error messages, channel settings behavior and display, Slack people-search results, and the wording of an automation warning.

Changes: Automation creation errors

Layer / File(s) Summary
Creation error handling
web/packages/agenta-automation-ui/src/useAutomationCreate.ts
Status 424 now displays a reconnect-and-retry message. Other errors retain the generic creation-failure message.

Channel settings

Layer / File(s) Summary
Channel empty state and footer
web/packages/agenta-settings-ui/src/channels/ChannelManagePanel.tsx, web/packages/agenta-settings-ui/tests/unit/channelManagePanel.test.tsx
Empty-place guidance depends on the platform and whether places are listed. The default disconnect footer omits “Saved automatically” and right-aligns the Disconnect button. Tests cover the empty and populated channel lists.
Slack people-search results
web/packages/agenta-settings-ui/src/channels/ChannelPeopleSection.tsx, web/packages/agenta-settings-ui/tests/unit/channelManagePanel.test.tsx
When a workspace or email match exists without recent-sender matches, the “Wrote to” heading and “No match.” text are suppressed. The test checks this case.
Connection access by agent availability
web/packages/agenta-settings-ui/src/channels/ChannelsSettingsPage.tsx, web/packages/agenta-settings-ui/tests/unit/channelsSettingsPage.test.tsx
Connections assigned to unavailable agents cannot be opened, and their Manage menu item is hidden. The catalog updates when the available agents change. A test checks the unavailable-agent case.

Automation warning label

Layer / File(s) Summary
Warning label
web/packages/agenta-entity-ui/src/gatewayTrigger/drawers/subscription/EventMessageComposer.tsx
The null-template warning now refers to “This automation” instead of “This schedule.”

Do not show the empty-list hint after a failed listSpaces call.

When listSpaces rejects, loadSpaces sets spaces to [] and spacesError to the error. This condition then renders the invite hint as if the list were successfully empty. Include spacesError in the guard so the hint appears only after a successful empty response.

Suppress the "By email" empty message when another section has a result.

The "By email" empty message at ChannelPeopleSection.tsx:355-361 does not check wrote or inWorkspace. A typed email can match a workspace member through substring matching, so the message can appear beside that member's result. The No match. guard at lines 343-344 is not the affected branch. The guard for the email message must be added in the candidates.some(...) condition at lines 355-358.

Apply the same cross-section rule that the other empty states use:
