Workflow status
- Active: When you activate the workflow and the workflow is running.
- Completed: When the process of the workflow has been completed. Only one-time workflows fall under this category.
- Draft: When you save your workflow as draft for use in the future.
- Paused: When you manually pause an active workflow.
Stopped
Actions defined in your workflow might stop due to the following reasons:
- The list that you've associated with the workflow may have been deleted. This does not apply to activity-based workflows.
- If the action is 'Add to another list', the target list (i.e. the list you've selected to add the leads to) may have been deleted.
- If the action is 'Push to Zoho CRM', the custom field mapped to Zoho CRM may have been deleted.
- If the action is 'Update fields', the custom field to be updated may have been deleted.
- If the action is 'Assign tags', the tags set for lead assignment may have been deleted.
- If the action is 'Remove tags', the tags to be removed from leads may have been deleted.
If all actions defined in the workflow have stopped, the workflow will be stopped. If not, the workflow will remain active, performing the active actions. Once stopped, a workflow cannot be activated.
