Pause & Resume
You can pause a running workflow and resume failed or partially successful executions.
Pausing an Execution
To pause a running workflow:
- Open the execution detail page (or watch it in the builder)
- Click the Pause button
- The workflow pauses between node executions — the currently running node will finish, but no new nodes will start
The execution status changes to Paused.
INFO
Pausing is graceful — it doesn't interrupt a node mid-execution. The current node completes, and the workflow pauses before scheduling the next node.
Resuming an Execution
You can resume executions that are in one of these states:
- Failed — one or more nodes failed
- Partial success — some nodes succeeded, others failed
To resume:
- Open the execution detail page
- Click the Resume button
- The workflow picks up from where it left off
How Resume Works
The platform uses checkpoints to track progress at the node level:
- Nodes that already completed successfully are not re-run
- Failed nodes are retried from their last checkpoint
- Pending nodes that haven't run yet will execute normally
This means you can fix the underlying issue (e.g., update a connection's credentials, fix a remote server) and then resume without re-processing data that was already handled.
WARNING
Only the most recent execution can be resumed. If a workflow has been run again since the failure, the older execution cannot be resumed.
