# Running Agents

> Execute agents from the Skyvern Cloud UI editor or agents list, fill in runtime parameters, configure run settings like proxy and webhook, and monitor live execution.

Once you've built and saved an agent in the Cloud UI, you can run it from the editor or the agents list. Each run creates an independent execution with its own status, logs, and output.

You can also trigger agents programmatically from your code. See [Run from Code](/cloud/building-agents/run-from-code) for the SDK and API approach.

## Starting a run

Two ways to start:

1. **From the editor**: Click the **Run** button (play icon) in the header bar. The editor saves your agent first.

2. **From the agents list**: Click the **play icon** on the agent's row.

Both take you to the parameters page where you fill in runtime values before the run starts.

## Filling in parameters

The parameters page shows all [agent parameters](/cloud/building-agents/add-parameters) defined in the editor. Fill in a value for each one, or leave them at their defaults. Parameters without defaults must be filled in before running.

## Run settings

Below the parameters, you can configure settings for this specific run:

| Setting                    | Description                                                                           |
| -------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Proxy Location**         | Route browser traffic through a proxy in a specific country. Default: US Residential. |
| **Webhook Callback URL**   | URL that receives a POST request when the run completes                               |
| **Max Screenshot Scrolls** | Override screenshot scroll depth for this run                                         |
| **Extra HTTP Headers**     | Custom headers included in all browser requests (JSON)                                |
| **CDP Address**            | Connect to your own browser for local development                                     |

## Monitoring a run

After clicking **Run**, you're taken to the live execution view, the same interface described in [Watching Live Execution](/cloud/getting-started/monitor-a-run).

For agents, the left panel also shows a **block timeline**: a list of all blocks in the agent. Completed blocks show a checkmark. The currently executing block is highlighted.

## Run statuses

| Status       | Description                          |
| ------------ | ------------------------------------ |
| `created`    | Run initialized                      |
| `queued`     | Waiting for an available browser     |
| `running`    | Blocks are executing                 |
| `completed`  | All blocks finished successfully     |
| `failed`     | A block failed and the agent stopped |
| `canceled`   | You canceled the run                 |
| `timed_out`  | The run exceeded its time limit      |
| `terminated` | The run was terminated by the system |

***

## Viewing results

After a run completes, open it from **Runs** in the sidebar. The run detail page shows:

* **Block-by-block results**: Each block's output, status, and execution time
* **Recording**: Full video replay of the browser session
* **Parameters**: The values you submitted for this run

See [Reviewing results](/cloud/getting-started/monitor-a-run#reviewing-results) for details on the Actions, Recording, Parameters, and Diagnostics tabs.

***

## Canceling a run

Click the **Cancel** button during execution. A confirmation dialog appears. The run moves to `canceled` status and any configured webhook fires.

***

## Run history

Access past runs from two places:

1. **Runs** in the left sidebar: shows all runs across all agents

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/skyvern/RrazYuvsu2T2SzFG/images/cloud/run-wf-4.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=RrazYuvsu2T2SzFG&q=85&s=d4c516f2d23bafe346a882d5d56aa182" alt="Run History page in the sidebar showing all past runs with status and duration" width="3256" height="1980" data-path="images/cloud/run-wf-4.png" />

2. Go to the **History** button (clock icon) in the agent editor: shows runs for this specific agent

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/skyvern/RrazYuvsu2T2SzFG/images/cloud/run-wf-5.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=RrazYuvsu2T2SzFG&q=85&s=78a7ae02d6a9666586b7f1b43a434ebb" alt="Past Runs view for a specific agent showing run statuses and timestamps" width="3256" height="1980" data-path="images/cloud/run-wf-5.png" />
