API workflows triggered (can see in scheduler) but not working

[WildlyOptimistic]

Hi Folks,

I have successfully scheduled API Workflow and API Workflow on a list through an Admin button.

1, Events all showed up in the Scheduler
2, On the Preview page “step-by-step”, it shows “Search for xxx list” , and a list of right items indeed showed up.
3, No Red-flag at the error-panel.
4, to test if the button and workflow are completely off, I also set a front-end “change a thing” with the same button click and it works perfectly.

BUT, the 2 expected API workflows effects didn’t happen: Sending email &. Reset the value of a field ( Balance ) on a list of data

I really couldn’t figure what what went wrong. I’ve checked all configurations and it seems right .

Trigger API Workflow on a list “dailyrest”

The “dailyreset” API Workflow on a list

Trigger API Workflow on a list “sendemail”

The “sendemail” API Workflow on a list

Thanky ou

Hi there, @WildlyOptimistic… the first two things that come to mind are privacy rules or maybe your scheduler is paused. Have you checked both of those things already?

Best…

Hi Mike,

Yes. I’ve checked " ignore privacy rule" here. Is it enough ?

I also have set in the privacy setting that others can view all.

Anything else I should check ?

[mikeloc]

Ignoring privacy rules when running the backend workflows should be enough there. Is your scheduler paused?

[WildlyOptimistic]

No I didn’t pause anything.

How do I check if it is paused and how to stop it from being paused ?

[WildlyOptimistic]

No I didn’t pause anything.

How do I check if it is paused and how to stop it from being paused ?

[mikeloc]

Go to the Logs >> Scheduler tab, and look for a button at the top that says Resume tasks. If you see that button, click it. If the button shows as Pause tasks, then your scheduler isn’t paused.

Hi Mike,

Yes it seems work if I press the Resume button.

But how come it got paused at the first place ? I want to make sure it won’t get paused without me knowing or understanding.

Thank you

@WildlyOptimistic

But how come it got paused at the first place ?

I have no idea. In theory, it can’t get paused unless someone clicks that button, but I suppose anything is possible because it’s software. I wouldn’t worry too much about it, but now you know about that button.

thank you Mike.
Have a great rest of the Sunday:)
