# Result delivery

> Send an answer to your email or phone, route a whole chat, or point an automation somewhere else

Adapt answers wherever you asked — in the web app, a Slack thread, or a text. Result delivery lets you override that: get one answer by email, send every response in a chat to your phone, or point a recurring automation at your inbox.

Email and Messages are personal destinations. They only ever go to you, and only after that destination is verified on your account.

## Send one result now

Ask for it in the chat you're already in. Adapt sends the message and keeps answering where it normally would.

```
Email me this cost breakdown so I can forward it to finance.
```

```
Text me the three blockers from this thread before I get on the plane.
```

The email uses the subject Adapt writes for it and includes a button back to the chat. A text arrives in your Adapt [Messages](/docs/docs/platform/messaging) thread with a link to the full answer.

<Note>
  Replying to one of these texts starts a new conversation. It doesn't continue the chat the result came from yet.
</Note>

## Route a whole chat

Point every future response in a chat at a destination and it stays there until you change it.

```
Send my responses in this chat to my email from now on.
```

* The message you're on still answers where it started. Ask Adapt to email or text it too if you want it right away.
* The preference is yours alone. In a shared chat, teammates keep their own destinations.
* **Origin** clears it and goes back to answering wherever each message came from. **No notification** keeps everything in the web app.
* Automations you create in that chat afterward inherit the destination.

That last point is the useful one. Set the chat to email, then schedule the work:

```
Every weekday at 7:30am, summarize overnight Sentry errors and open Linear bugs for the API service.
```

The setup reply and every morning's summary land in your inbox instead of the channel you were standing in.

## Point an automation somewhere else

Existing automations have their own delivery setting in the automation header, changeable in plain English from any chat. See [Result delivery](/docs/docs/features/automations#result-delivery) under Automations.

## Set up your destinations

| Destination  | What it needs                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            |
| ------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Email**    | A verified account email.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                |
| **Messages** | A phone connected under [Settings > Integrations > Messaging](https://app.adapt.com/settings/integrations/imessage), plus an existing text thread with Adapt. Delete the thread and the destination goes unavailable — text Adapt once to bring it back. |

Adapt checks what's available before sending and tells you when the destination you asked for isn't ready. If a saved destination stops working later, results fall back to the chat's original surface rather than disappearing.
