## Submit Input Response

**post** `/automate/{requestID}/input`

Submit a response to an interactive form data request from an in-progress automation task. When the AI agent encounters a form requiring user data, it emits an `interactive:form_data:request` or `interactive:form_data:error` SSE event containing a `requestId`. Use this endpoint to provide the requested data or cancel the request.

**Lifecycle:**

- Input requests expire after 2 minutes by default
- Expired or already-answered requests return `410 Gone`
- Successful submissions return `202 Accepted` (fire-and-forget from caller's perspective)

### Path Parameters

- `requestID: string`

### Body Parameters

- `cancelled: optional boolean`

  Set to true to cancel/decline the request

- `fields: optional array of object { ref, value }`

  Field values as array of {ref, value} pairs (required when not cancelled)

  - `ref: optional string`

  - `value: optional string`

### Returns

- `status: optional string`
