Monitor executions
Track workflow runs under Executions, open details, and clean up history.
Executions is the list of workflow runs across your workspace. Use it to confirm schedules fired, investigate failures, and open the canvas for a specific run. Open Executions under Observability in the sidebar.
Open the list
Go to Executions. Each row shows the workflow name, run number, status, and timing.
| Column | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Workflow | Name of the workflow (opens the workflow) |
| Workflow Run # | Run number (opens that execution’s detail) |
| Status | Current or final state of the run |
| Timing | When the run started and how long it took |
Filter by workflow when you only care about one automation.
Statuses
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Running / Retrying | The run is in progress |
| Success | Finished without a failing step |
| Failed | A step failed |
| Needs Input | Waiting for a person (for example approval); may show Approval pending |
| Waiting | Paused for input or an external event |
| Scheduled | Waiting until a later time (for example a long Wait action) |
Open the info icon on a row when a status message is available.
Open a run
Find the execution
On Executions, locate the row by workflow name, status, or filter.
Open Execution
Click the Workflow Run #, or open the row ⋮ menu and choose Open Execution. Automate opens the execution detail for that run (timeline and step results).
Open Workflow (optional)
From the same ⋮ menu, choose Open Workflow to jump to the builder for that workflow.
From detail you can review which step ran, outputs, and error text when a run failed. Fix the workflow on the canvas, then trigger a new run when ready.
Delete an execution
From the row ⋮ menu, choose Delete and confirm. Deleted executions cannot be recovered. Prefer deleting only when you are cleaning history, not as a substitute for fixing a failed workflow.
