agent failed to complete route a proposal for manager approval error failure

Not specified by the original author.

TL;DR

Fix this in the proposal generator by acting on the exact message first: validate every input for the task, route a proposal for manager approval, before starting, account or opportunity resolved, sources reachable, required fields present, then checkpoint after each stage and retry only the failed stage with its underlying error surfaced in the run log instead of a generic failure. Do not rerun the whole job unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one item, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the counts.

Agent failed to complete route a proposal for manager approval error

Use this when

• The operation in the proposal generator fails with this exact message: Agent failed to complete route a proposal for manager approval error.
• The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
• A call, review or send is blocked until this item completes.

Not for this skill when

• The message is a permission or outage notice from the platform. Resolve that first, then return here if this error remains.
• The operation completes and you only disagree with its output. That is a quality review, not this failure.

Steps

1. Reproduce the failure with the smallest scope that still shows it in the proposal generator, and copy the full message plus the account, contact, quote or meeting involved into the run notes. Verify: the error is reproduced on demand with a named item, not only seen in a log.
2. Apply the specific fix for this error: validate every input for the task, route a proposal for manager approval, before starting, account or opportunity resolved, sources reachable, required fields present, then checkpoint after each stage and retry only the failed stage with its underlying error surfaced in the run log instead of a generic failure. Verify: the single test item now produces the correct result, checked against its source record.
3. Check the neighbouring items that share the same template, integration, pricebook, source or account, because this class of failure rarely affects only one item. Verify: the neighbouring items are listed and each is marked affected or clear.
4. Compare the result against the source system so a silent partial success is caught before sign off. Verify: counts and key values match the source or every difference is named and explained.
5. Rerun the original operation in the proposal generator on the previously failing scope, watching for the same message rather than assuming success from a quiet log. Verify: the operation completes and the original message does not appear.
6. Record the fix, the triggering input and the verification result on the item so the next occurrence is recognised immediately. Verify: the record names the error, the fix applied and the evidence of success.

Why it happens

One stage inside route a proposal for manager approval failed partway and the agent had no checkpoints or input validation, so the whole task was reported failed with no way to resume or see which stage broke.

How to fix: agent failed to complete route a proposal for manager approval error failure

The how-to phrasing for the same failure in the proposal generator. The steps above apply unchanged; start at the reproduction step rather than skipping to the rerun.

Troubleshooting this failure in the proposal generator

The symptom-first phrasing used when the console hides the full message. Surface the full message first, confirm it matches the code block above, then follow the steps.

Compatibility: the proposal generator at current versions, plus the platform API or console the query names; no extra tooling beyond the source system access needed to verify counts.

TL;DR

Fix this in the proposal generator by acting on the exact message first: fingerprint every attempt at the task, route a proposal for manager approval, from its inputs plus its last result, stop after two identical fingerprints, and change one thing before retrying, a different source, a narrower query or a human check, recording the repeated action in the run log so the loop is visible. Do not rerun the whole job unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one item, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the counts.

Agent loop detected: repeating the same proposal task to route a proposal for manager approval error loop

Use this when

• The operation in the proposal generator fails with this exact message: Agent loop detected: repeating the same proposal task to route a proposal for manager approval error loop.
• The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
• A call, review or send is blocked until this item completes.

• The message is a permission or outage notice from the platform. Resolve that first, then return here if this error remains.

Why it happens

The agent retried route a proposal for manager approval with unchanged inputs after a result it did not recognise as success, so each attempt reproduced the same state and the loop detector tripped.

TL;DR

Fix this in the proposal generator by acting on the exact message first: split the task, route a proposal for manager approval, into staged subcalls with a deadline per stage, cache each finished stage result under the meeting or deal ID, shrink the largest single fetch in the slowest stage by paging it, and on a timeout resume from the last cached stage instead of restarting the whole task. Do not rerun the whole job unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one item, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the counts.

Why it happens

The agent ran route a proposal for manager approval as one long unbroken call chain, so a single slow source consumed the entire time budget and all completed work was lost when the limit hit.
