Executions and monitoring

Monitor and manage workflow executions to track progress, debug issues, and provide input to paused workflows.

Manual execution

Section titled “Manual execution”

Start a workflow manually from the editor by clicking Execute in the toolbar. You can provide input variables before starting the run. Use manual execution for testing and one-off runs during development.

Execution states

Section titled “Execution states”

Each execution moves through a series of states as it progresses.

Status Description
pending Queued for execution
running Currently executing
paused Waiting for input at a wait_for_input node
completed Finished successfully
failed Encountered an error

Monitoring executions

Section titled “Monitoring executions”

View the execution list for each workflow, showing status, start time, and duration. The list updates in real time, so you can watch executions progress without refreshing.

Click an execution to see step-by-step details, including which nodes have completed, which are currently running, and any errors encountered.

Execution details

Section titled “Execution details”

Each execution shows a detailed log of every node that ran, including:

  • Inputs — the data passed into the node
  • Outputs — the data produced by the node
  • Timing — how long the node took to execute
  • Status — whether the node succeeded or failed

This step-by-step view is invaluable for debugging workflows and understanding how data flows through each node.

Paused executions

Section titled “Paused executions”

Workflows with wait_for_input nodes pause execution until input is provided. When a workflow reaches a wait_for_input node, its status changes to paused and it waits for external input before continuing.

Provide input via:

  • Dashboard — open the paused execution and enter the required input directly

Workflows have no public REST endpoints. The POST /ai/chat/callback endpoint in the API reference is for client tool results of an async chat request, not for workflow input.

Deleting executions

Section titled “Deleting executions”

Remove old execution records from the execution history to keep your workspace tidy. Deleting an execution removes its logs and output data permanently.

To delete an execution, select it from the execution list and click Delete. You can also delete multiple executions at once by selecting them in bulk.
