workflow_not_found
I set up a workflow and tried running it from my app and I am getting workflow_not_Found error. Then I tried running it from command line to see if it was a Java library issue and got the same error. Finally I tried running it from the Novu UI and am seeing the workflow_not_found toast error.

Did you update the workflow name or workflow trigger identifier after creating workflow?
I had identify issue today, I think it is due to some time needed after a workflow name is updated on the server
I waited a few hours and works again
Thanks @Yang !
In my opinion there is some cache issue.
I will share this issue with our team.
I will keep you updated about the fix @Joey Mason
I'm also seeing
workflow_not_found
when calling trigger. I'm confused because workflow_not_found
is notr even listen as a possible response https://docs.novu.co/api-reference/events/trigger-event π€@kingen βπ» Did you update the workflow name or trigger identifier ?
yeah I did, but I must have done something wrong because when I set up my EU organization again I didn't see the problem any more.
Has there ever been a solve for this issue? It seems that the time for the servers to recognize changes to workflow is pretty long. I wrote a script that outputs the workflows available to me. It shows the two new workflows but when I attempt to trigger them, I get the
workflow_not_found
error. I wait a while and then they trigger properly.I'm still seeing this behaviour. I created a new workflow last night and when retrieving the list of workflows it appeared correctly, but when trying to trigger an event to the workflow I was receiving 422 and workflow_not_found. Trying again 8 hours later all works fine. Is there any update on this issue?
I'll let @Pawan Jain help out here π
@Sam Hepburn and @codeOverCoffee
Did you trigger the workflow using test option in UI or triggered using API/SDK ?
Can you replicate this issue with new workflow?
I saw this behaviour with both of those
I was triggering the event with the Python SDK, and receiving back a 422.
I then attempted to use the test section in the UI (https://docs.novu.co/api-reference/events/trigger-event), and I still received 422, and this is where I saw the extra message of
"workflow_not_found"
.
I will try again shortly and get back to youThanks Sam. Sure keep us updated. I am trying to reproduce but it is not able to reproduce. May be there is some specific steps.
If possible please remember steps as well. it will help us in debugging
@Sam Hepburn
We are working on our new python sdk and looking for early testers. Would you be interested in helping us in testing the SDK before it is available to use for all?
