# Resume a stopped task run

`POST /task_runs/{id}/resume`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.crevio.co/v1`
- URL: `https://api.crevio.co/v1/task_runs/{id}/resume`
- Auth: API key in header `Authorization`

Pick a stopped run back up in its own conversation instead of repeating it: the transcript is already the agent's context, so it continues from what it saved rather than redoing the work. Starts a new run that adopts the original's chat. Pass `message` to steer the continuation; without it the agent is told to read back over what it did and carry on. 422 `run_not_resumable` if the run already completed or has no conversation (send it a follow-up instead), 409 `run_busy` if it or another run of the task is still in progress.

## Path parameters

- `id` string, required

## Headers

- `Idempotency-Key` string

## Request body

- object
  - `message` string: Optional instructions for the continuation. Defaults to asking the agent to resume from its last saved step.

## Response `202`

Accepted — the resumed turn runs in the background on a new run; poll GET /task_runs/{id} or open its stream.

Null unless an agent turn completed the run.
  - `trigger_source` 'scheduled' | 'event' | 'manual', required
  - `trigger_event` object, nullable, required: The event that started this run, `{type, data}`, exactly as the run received it; `data` matches the event's webhook payload. Null for a run no event started. POST /task_runs/{id}/replay runs the task again on it.
