Each contact that enters a flow has a run. Its history lists every step with the time it happened.
Run statuses
Section titled “Run statuses”| Status or reason | What it means | What you do |
|---|---|---|
Running | The run is executing its current step. | Nothing. |
Waiting | The run is at a wait step, or pausing before retrying a step that failed. | Nothing: it continues at the time shown. |
Succeeded | The run reached its end, or ended early for a reason recorded in its history. | Nothing. |
Failed | A step failed even after every retry. | Open the run's history to see which step and why. |
Terminated | Stopped from outside: the flow was unpublished or the contact was erased. | Nothing. |
Steps in a run’s history
Section titled “Steps in a run’s history”| Step | What it means |
|---|---|
Enrolled | The contact entered the flow: its trigger happened for them. |
Entered | The run arrived at a step. |
Evaluated | A condition, an audience check or a wait-for-event was decided; the history shows which way it went. |
Sent | The email step queued its email for sending. |
Tagged | A tag was added to the contact. |
WebhookCalled | The flow called your webhook address. |
Waited | A wait step was reached; the run continues at the time it shows. |
Retried | A step failed for a passing reason and will be tried again. |
Failed | A step failed after every retry; the run stops there. |
Completed | The run ended, at the end of the flow or early for the reason it shows. |
Skipped | The email step did not send: the sending gate stopped it, and the history shows the reason. |
Simulated | In a test run: what the step would have done, without doing it. |
Why a run ended early
Section titled “Why a run ended early”| Status or reason | What it means | What you do |
|---|---|---|
audience_not_matched | The contact did not fit the audience the flow is limited to, so the run ended right after the trigger. | Nothing, or widen the flow's audience. |
cart_closed | The cart the flow was about was ordered or emptied, so there was nothing left to remind anyone of. | Nothing: this is the reminder working as intended. |
exit_event | The contact did one of the things the flow stops on (for example they activated or subscribed). | Nothing. |
