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.

ColumnWhat it shows
WorkflowName of the workflow (opens the workflow)
Workflow Run #Run number (opens that execution’s detail)
StatusCurrent or final state of the run
TimingWhen the run started and how long it took

Filter by workflow when you only care about one automation.

Statuses

StatusMeaning
Running / RetryingThe run is in progress
SuccessFinished without a failing step
FailedA step failed
Needs InputWaiting for a person (for example approval); may show Approval pending
WaitingPaused for input or an external event
ScheduledWaiting 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

  1. Find the execution

    On Executions, locate the row by workflow name, status, or filter.

  2. 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).

  3. 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.
