Archive a drip workflow

DELETE /v1/workflows/{id}
Auth required api.workflows.manage

Archives a workflow. On writes {id} resolves as a UUID or, failing that, as the workflow's org-unique key.

This cancels every live run in the workflow, with exit_kind: workflow_archived, and re-activating it afterwards does not put anybody back where they were. That is why it is classified destructive and refused for a sk_test_ credential. Use POST /v1/workflows/{id}/pause instead when you want enrolment to stop and journeys to resume later.

The definition and its run analytics stay readable, which is why this answers 200 with the archived workflow rather than 204: the status is the shortest true answer to the question a caller asks next.

Path parameters

id string required

The workflow's UUID or, when the value does not parse as a UUID, its org-unique key. Unknown handles read as 404 not_found. Accepted on every workflow route, read and write alike.

Responses

Errors follow the RFC 7807 problem format — see the error reference.

200 The archived workflow application/json
id string<uuid> required
name string required
key string required

The workflow's stable slug within the org.

description string optional
status string required

Lifecycle status: draft, active, paused, archived, or invalid.

invalid_reason string optional

Present only when status is invalid.

require_send_approval boolean optional

When true, sends are held for manual review instead of dispatching automatically.

send_mode string enum required

shadow means the workflow is ACTIVE and enrolling real contacts but mailing nobody: every send, attribute write and list add is recorded on the run timeline instead of performed. A shadow workflow that looks broken is working as configured — POST /v1/workflows/{id}/go-live arms it for real.

One of: live, shadow

shadow_started_at string<date-time> optional

When the current shadow began. Absent while live.

shadow_cohort_list_id string<uuid> optional

The list bounding who may enrol while shadowing. Absent while live or when the shadow is unbounded.

shadow_cohort object optional

That list resolved: which list, and how many people the rehearsal can reach. Absent while live or when the shadow is unbounded. The bare shadow_cohort_list_id stays beside it because it is the handle activate takes back.

current_version integer required

The live definition version.

run_counts object required

By-status run tally, e.g. active/completed → counts. Always present.

created_at string<date-time> required
updated_at string<date-time> required
source string optional

The .flow program. Present only for a caller holding api.workflows.manage — the read scope withholds it — and on every response to a write, which returns what was stored.

content_hash string optional

The optimistic-concurrency token. Pass it back as expected_content_hash on the next update and a concurrent edit is refused rather than overwritten. Present alongside source.

warnings array<string> optional

The analyzer's non-fatal findings from the write that produced this row. A definition can be perfectly valid and still not do what somebody asked for, so these survive a successful save — read them.

diagnostics array<object> optional

Every positioned finding, errors as well as warnings, from validating the source this call wrote. This is what makes a 201 with status: invalid actionable: the row was stored, and this says why it cannot run yet. Absent when none were gathered.

Each entry in diagnostics:

line integer | null optional
column integer | null optional
severity string required

error blocks the definition from running; warning does not.

message string required
requires array<object> optional

Everything this definition still depends on, with each dependency's state. Present on the write responses and on the detail read (the polling surface); absent on the collection read. An empty array means nothing is outstanding — see V1Requirement.

Each entry in requires:

kind string enum required

The namespace key is looked up in. Branch on this; never parse detail.

One of: template, segment, list, topic, identity, channel, attribute, activity_property, asset

key string required

The identifier as the definition names it — a template name, a segment id or key, a from-address. Empty for a requirement about the ABSENCE of a reference: a send with no topic at all names no topic.

status string enum required

ok — resolves and is usable now. missing — nothing in this organization answers to that key. Correct the reference, or create the thing. not_ready — it exists, in a state that cannot be used yet. Usually a wait, and retrying the identical request is the move. Treating this as missing sends you hunting for a typo that is not there.

One of: ok, missing, not_ready

detail string required

The state, in the words that say which state — deploy_state=pending, member_count=null (evaluation queued). For display and logs; do not parse it.

fix string required

The call that clears this requirement, as an HTTP route where there is one and as a plain instruction where there is not (a template deploy is waited for, not called). Empty on an ok entry.

401 Missing, malformed, or unknown API key application/problem+json
403 Either the credential lacks the required scope (code: invalid_scope), or it is bound to the test environment and this operation is irreversible (code: test_environment_forbidden). Branch on code: the first is fixed by granting the scope, the second only by using a live credential. See the "Live and test credentials" section of the API description. application/problem+json
404 Resource not found application/problem+json
409 The mutation is rejected by a state rule rather than a bad request. The code is conflict. application/problem+json
429 Per-org rate limit exceeded application/problem+json
500 Unexpected server-side failure. The code is internal_error. The request_id field can be quoted to SendOps support to investigate. application/problem+json
