Common questions

Is every area actionable?

No. Some areas are informational (status, history, usage), while others are actionable (connect, activate, pause, revoke, upgrade).

Can I run without Flow?

Flow transparency is a core part of Chilla. Use it as your first check when reviewing activity.

Does Chilla act outside selected environment scope?

No. Chilla automation is account-scoped to user-authorized environment connections.
