As you build more complicated Workflows it becomes important to review the run history and audit logs for Workflows that may have errors or not be functioning as expected. Glide has several different tools for doing this.
History
In the Workflow Editor, you can open any Workflow and review its run history on the right-hand side by opening the History tab. Here you can see logs of the run history for that workflow for the past 90 days. Clicking on any of these individual runs will show more details, including:
When the action steps ran
How long it took to run
Which steps, conditions, or loops were run
Which data was sent or altered, if any
Which steps had an error, if any
Any runs that had an error will show with a red symbol. Clicking into the log history will show a detailed error message for the specific step or steps that had an issue.
Error Notifications
Error notifications will automatically be sent to Team members via email. The notification will contain brief details about the specific error that occurred, and then link to the app screen impacted by the failure. Each email will also contain a View Action button, which will take you directly to the action or Workflow in the Workflow Editor that failed.
Disabling Error Notifications
If someone on the team no longer wishes to receive the emailed error notifications, they can be disabled in the Team member settings. To disable the notifications:
Open the Members page from the Dashboard.
Select the three dots next to a member.
Select Manage email notifications.
Disable emails for errors.
Workflow Run Log
The Workflow Run Log is automatically generated when you run a workflow. It will show the following columns:
Run ID: ID for a specific workflow run
Workflow ID: unique ID of the workflow
App ID: ID of the Glide app that ran the workflow
Trigger Source: How the workflow was triggered
User: The user who triggered the workflow
Start time: Timestamp when the workflow run began
Finish time: Timestamp when the workflow run completed
Completion status: End status of the workflow run
Steps attempted: Total number of workflow steps that were attempted
Steps failed: Number of steps that encountered errors
First failed step message: Error message from the first step that failed
Consolidated error message: Combined error information from all failed steps
Trigger data: Data payload that initiated the workflow
Workflow definition hash: Hash of the workflow definition for version tracking
Workflow Step Log
The Workflow Step Log is automatically generated when you run most workflows, with the exception of app-interaction. It will show the following columns:
Run ID: Unique ID for the workflow run
Step Index: Sequential number indicating a step's position in the workflow
Result: The outcome when the step ran
Message: Error message related to the step execution, if any
Data: Data processed during the step
Outputs: Results produced by the step
Started at: Timestamp when the step began
Finished at: Timestamp when the step completed
Node key: Unique identifier for the workflow node/step definition
Common Errors in Workflows
When a workflow step encounters an error, it will display a message meant to give more context about what went wrong with that step. Below is a list of the most common errors users encounter, with more detail about each one.
Glide Workflow-specific Errors
Tried to run more than
Nsteps: Workflow tried more steps than allowed. Workflow needs more filters or reduced steps to be under the maximum number of steps per run.Table not found: Step is missing table configuration.
Result is not bound: Referring to an array with a step that needs a single value.
Timed out fetching rows from table
Table name: Workflow timed out trying to get values from a table.Wait for condition step timed out: Workflow timed out trying to wait for a condition.
Unknown workflow failure: Unknown failure that should be reported to Support for further investigation.
Canceled by user: A workflow run was in progress and later canceled by a user in the builder.
HTTP Errors
HTTP status 400: Bad request, which means including request body errors, header errors, and/or query parameter errors.
HTTP status 401: Unauthorized, which means that authorization header is missing or incorrect.
HTTP status 403: Forbidden, which means that authorization was accepted but does not have permission.
HTTP status 404: Requested resource does not exist.
HTTP status 429: Too many requests.
Generic Action Errors
This model’s maximum context length is
Ntokens. However, your messages resulted inYtokens. Please reduce the length of the messages: The input for an AI step exceeded the number of tokens.The required parameter ‘Input’ is missing: An action step is missing an input.
