FlowRun

FlowRun is responsible for initiating a Flow in a MessageThread. The FlowRun resource reflects the flow's current state of the flow, including session variables, the present costs incurred in association with the FlowRun and the status attribute displaying the flow's execution state.

Endpoints

GET /flow-runs - Retrieve a list of all FlowRun.
GET /flow-runs/{id} - Retrieve a specific FlowRun by ID.
POST /flow-runs - Trigger a new FlowRun in a MessageThread.
PATCH /flow-runs/{id} - Update a specific FlowRun by ID.
DELETE /flow-runs/{id} - Delete a specific FlowRun by ID.

Patching a FlowRun

The following attributes can be patched in a FlowRun:

state - The state attribute can can only be updated once a FlowRun is not in a running state. By patching the state attribute you can delete any personal data or other sensitive information from the state.
status - The status attribute can be updated to finished, timeout, cancelled or exception. This can be used to manually finish a flow run or to mark it as a timeout or exception.

Attributes

Type

Description

flowId

UUID

Id of the Flow to be triggered.

messageThreadId

UUID

Id of the MessageThread to trigger the flow on.

state

JSON object

The initial state of the flow run, including session variables.

initialMessage

JSON object

The message to be sent to the candidate when the flow is triggered. Type depends on the channel; for WhatsApp, a template is required. If no message is provided, the flow will be triggered without sending a message to the candidate; this will still mean that the candidate will enter the correct flow upon the next message send. Please set to {} if you wish for no initialMessage.

status

String

The current status of the flow run, which can be one of "running", "finished", "timeout", "exception", "queued".

cost

integer

The current cost in credits of the flow run.

createdAt

DateTime

The timestamp when the flow run was created.

The initial message can be any of the available Payload values, see the Message resource for more information.
