Before you delegate it
Cancel a subscription or service on the user's behalf when supported.
- account access
- subscription details
Safer workflow
- Specify the result you want and any conditions the agent must not change.
- Ask Instinct to research or prepare first, then pause before a payment, cancellation, or other consequential action.
- Before approving, check the amount, recipient, dates, policy, and sensitive details.
- Afterward, confirm the result in the original service or account.
How to verify completion
A cancellation confirmation or verified next step.
For payments, bookings, accounts, and messages, use the provider's record rather than the agent's completion message as the final confirmation.
Suggested request
Find the cancellation path for this subscription. Show any fee or lost benefits and ask before the final cancellation.
Expected outcome
A cancellation confirmation or verified next step.
Known limitations
- Cancellation support is documented through reporting and hands-on tests rather than a dedicated official capability page.
- Merchant cancellation terms and timing control the final outcome.
- Users should verify the subscription status after the agent acts.
