How can we help?

Important Note: This feature is available in Preview for select customers.

From the Automation Flows list (accessible from Builder > Automation Flows), you can manage the full lifecycle of your flows. The available actions are: Edit, Archive, Restore, and Delete.

• Editing a Flow
• Archiving a Flow
• Restoring a Flow
• Deleting a Flow
• Pausing an Execution
• Resuming an Execution
• Cancelling an Execution

Editing a Flow

Editing a flow opens it in Automation Designer, where you can update its configuration and logic.

To edit a flow:

1. In the Automation Flows list, click on the edit button [1].
2. In the Automation Flows list, click the flow name [2] to open the Flow Details page and click Edit flow [3] in the top right corner. This will redirect you to Automation Designer, where you can update the flow's configuration and logic.

Note: Editing a published flow creates a new Draft version. The currently published version continues to run until the updated flow is published.

Archiving a Flow

Archiving deactivates a flow and removes it from the active list without permanently deleting it. Archived flows can be restored at any time.

To archive a flow:

1. In the Automation Flows list, open the action menu (⋮) [4] for the flow you want to archive.
2. Select Archive [5]. 
3. In the confirmation dialog, choose how to handle executions currently in progress:
   • Let executions finish (default) [7] — the flow is archived immediately, but in-progress executions will complete. No new executions will start until the flow is restored.
   • Stop all executions [8] — in-progress executions are cancelled immediately, and the flow is archived.
4. Click Archive flow [9] to confirm, or Don’t archive [10] to go back.

Note: Both Draft and Published flows can be archived. Once archived, the flow will no longer trigger new executions.

Restoring a Flow

Restoring brings an archived flow back to the active list. You can choose whether the flow should be active (enabled) or inactive (disabled) after restoring.

To restore a flow:

1. In the Automation Flows list, navigate to the Archived tab [11].
2. In the Automation Flows list, choose the flow you want to restore and click Restore [12].
3. In the confirmation dialog, select how to restore the flow:
   • Restore and set inactive (default) [13] — the flow is restored but remains disabled until manually enabled.
   • Restore and set active [14] — the flow is restored and immediately enabled.
4. Click Restore flow [15] to confirm, or Keep archived [16] to cancel.

Note: Restoring and setting a flow as inactive is the default option. This allows you to review the flow's configuration before it starts executing.

Deleting a Flow

Deleting permanently removes a flow and all its versions. This action cannot be undone.

To delete a flow:

1. In the Automation Flows list (Active and Archived tabs), open the action menu (⋮) [4] for the flow you want to delete.
2. Select Delete (Active [6] or Archive tabs [17])
3. In the confirmation dialog, type Delete [18] to confirm.
4. Click Delete flow [19] to permanently remove the flow, or Don't delete [20] to cancel.

Note: Both Draft and Published flows can be deleted. This action also permanently removes all execution history for the flow.

Pausing an Execution

Pausing suspends a running execution without permanently stopping it. The execution enters a Paused state and can be resumed or cancelled at any time.

To pause an execution:

1. In the Automation Flows list, click the flow name to open the Flow Details page.
2. In the Flow executions table, click the execution you want to pause.
3. On the Flow execution details page, click Pause in the top right corner.

Note: Only executions with a Running status can be paused.

Resuming an Execution

It is possible to manually resume an execution that is in a Paused or Waiting state. A Paused execution was manually suspended. A Waiting execution is suspended at a Wait component until it receives a resume signal.

To resume an execution:

1. In the Automation Flows list, click the flow name to open the Flow Details page.
2. In the Flow executions table, click the execution you want to resume.
3. On the Flow execution details page, click Resume in the top right corner.

Note: Only executions with a Paused or Waiting status can be resumed.

Cancelling an Execution

Cancelling permanently stops an execution. The execution is marked as completed and cancelled and cannot be restarted.

To cancel an execution:

1. In the Automation Flows list, click the flow name to open the Flow Details page.
2. In the Flow executions table, click the execution you want to cancel.
3. On the Flow execution details page, click Cancel in the top right corner.
4. In the confirmation dialog, optionally enter a reason for cancellation [1] (50 characters maximum). The reason will appear in the execution details.
5. Click Cancel execution [2] to confirm, or Keep running [3] to go back.

Note: This action cannot be undone. Once cancelled, the execution stops immediately and is marked as completed.
