Workflow run history and logs
Learn how to find and read your workflow run history, monitor what's running, and use the execution log to understand what happened on any given run.
Where to find your run history
Go to Workflows → Activities in the sidebar. This page shows every workflow run across your entire account, what ran, when, how long it took, and whether it succeeded.
Reading the Activities table
Each row in the Activities table represents a single workflow run. The columns tell you:
| Column | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Status icon | Green circle with checkmark = completed successfully; red circle with × = failed |
| Apps | App icons for the trigger and action apps in that workflow |
| Workflow | The workflow name |
| User | The email address of the user whose credentials ran the workflow |
| Start Date | When the run started |
| Finish Date | When the run finished |
| Duration | How long the run took, in seconds |
| Task Consumed | How many tasks were counted for this run (0 for failed runs) |
| Status | Text status: "Completed" or "Failed" |
Filtering and searching runs
The Activities page covers all workflows. To find runs for a specific workflow or time period, use the filters at the top of the table:
- Search: type a workflow name to filter to runs from that workflow
- Status: filter to "Completed" or "Failed" runs only
- Filter by date: narrow to a specific date range
Opening the execution log
To see exactly what happened on a specific run, click the magnifying glass icon on that row. The execution log opens inline, replacing the Activities list.
The execution log shows:
Run-level header: workflow name, run status, start date, tasks consumed, duration, and how the run was triggered (e.g. "Custom (Timer)" or "OnDemand (Timer)").
Error banner (failed runs only): a pink banner below the header showing the top-level error message: "Exceptions: [error message]".
Step cards: one card for each trigger and action step in the workflow. Each card shows:
- The app icon and step name
- A green checkmark (step completed) or red × (step failed)
- Three tabs: Status, Data In, and Data Out
Using Data In and Data Out
The Data In and Data Out tabs on each step card tell you how data moved through that step. The number in parentheses on each tab is the record count.
| What you see | What it means |
|---|---|
| Trigger Data Out = 0 | The trigger ran but found no new records |
| Action Data In > 0, Data Out = 1 | Data reached the action and one record was written successfully |
| Action Data In > 0, Data Out = 0 | Data reached the action but nothing was written; check the Status tab for an error |
Note: A high Data In count on an action step (e.g. 1,202) is not necessarily a problem. Some integrations pass full record payloads as input, which results in a large number of data points even for a single record written.
What the Status tab shows
Click the Status tab on any step card to see three fields:
- Status: "Completed" for a successful step, "Exception" for a failed one
- User: the user account whose credentials ran this step
- Result: for failed steps, the specific error message; for completed steps, "Task has been completed."
The Result field is the most useful starting point when diagnosing a failure. See How to read workflow error messages for a full walkthrough.
