Continue an objective

$ cadenya objectives continue

POST/v1/objectives/{objectiveId}/continue

Continues an objective that has completed

ParametersExpand Collapse

--objective-id: string

The ID of the objective. If you have assigned an external ID to the objective, you can prefix the ID with "external_id:". For example, "external_id:1234567890". Otherwise, the ID assigned by Cadenya should be used.

--enqueue: optional boolean

When set to true, the message will be enqueued for when the agent loop is available to process it.

--message: optional string

The message to continue an objective that has completed (or you are enqueing)

--secret: optional array of object { name, value }

Secrets that should be included with the message. Helpful for when you need to update secrets on the objective (IE: A secret expires and needs to be refreshed)
