Schedule API Workflow troubleshooting

Need help APIs

I can’t seem to get Schedule API Workflow to work in one of my applications. I have set up the exact same scenario as far as I know in two different applications, and it works in one and not the other.

I’m hoping someone in the bubble community can point me towards the privacy/api setting or other error in my ways.

Both apps have:

  • A page with a single input and two buttons “Create Item” and “Create Item via API”.
  • The first button simply Creates Item in the database and it works perfectly.
  • The second button schedules and API workflow with a single parameter “name” and a single action Create Item, which is exactly the same as above.

In my test application here you can see it works as expected. In my other application (which I unfortunately can’t provide access to) the Create Item button works but Create via API doesn’t

For testing purposes I’ve tried:

  • Checking all boxes under Settings > API for both workflows and data
  • Checking all boxes under Data > Privacy Rules
  • Switching between Agency plan, which it was on originally, to Personal Plan
  • Checking all possible “ignore privacy rules”/authentication boxes in the workflow editor

My initial thoughts are that it may have to do with scheduling api workflow in a recursive way, but now that I’ve tested in on creating just a single item I think it may be something else.

Anyone have any other ideas to troubleshoot?

Because the test app above is on the agency plan it is password protected. You can use the standard ‘username’ & ‘password’ credentials to access it.

Update: I pushed it live and noticed that it worked there.

This lead me here where I realized that I had previously Paused all workflows and never resumed.

Thanks @ kenneth.ettinger!!

@121 THIS SAVED ME SO MUCH TIME! Please inform users about paused workflows with big fat alert. I spent 2 days breaking my head what’s wrong with my API workflow. It was just paused! I did not know there is such function somewhere in logs tab. THANKS

Usually takes an hour of banging my head against the wall and a walk around the block to remember that this is even a thing, despite having obviously just turned them off.

Two years later and the amount of time lost to this is embarrassing. People, do not press this button if you know what’s good for you.
