Workflows FAQ

My workflow isn't triggering. Why?

  1. Workflow is not active — Make sure the toggle is set to Active
  2. Conditions are too restrictive — Temporarily remove conditions to test
  3. Wrong trigger type — Verify the trigger matches the event you expect
  4. Plan limit reached — Check if you've hit your monthly run limit
  5. Paused due to failures — Check for a "Paused Due to Failure" badge

My workflow shows "Paused Due to Failure." How do I fix it?

This means the workflow failed 4 times in a row. Check the Execution History for error messages, fix the root cause, then click Re-enableRe-enable

.

Can I test a workflow without waiting for a real event?

What are template variables?

Template variables let you insert dynamic data into actions. For example, {{order_number}} inserts the actual order number. See the Template Variables guide for all variables.

Emails from my workflow aren't being sent. Why?

  1. Email integration not configured — Set up your domain in Settings
  2. Domain not verified — DNS records might not have propagated yet
  3. On Free plan — Email actions require Starter or Growth
  4. Deduplication — Same email may have been sent in the last 24 hours
