Understand job statuses
Know what each job status means and what happens next.
Updated 2026-07-23
A job's status tells you where it is in a workflow's run, from just starting to finished — or waiting on someone.

The six statuses
- Queued — the job is waiting to start, usually because it's about to run on a schedule.
- Running — the workflow is actively working through its steps.
- Action required — the job has paused at a Human review step and is waiting for a person to respond. See Respond to an Action required job.
- Completed — every step finished successfully.
- Failed — a step couldn't finish, and the job stopped. Open the job to see which step and why.
- Cancelled — someone stopped the job before it finished. See Cancel and rerun jobs.
NoteIndividual steps have their own status too, such as Awaiting Approval or Awaiting Input, shown inside the step timeline while the overall job waits on Action required.
Where to check status
The Status column on the Jobs list shows each job's state at a glance. Jobs waiting on a person are counted by the Action required card on Home and flagged on the job's own page, while the Running jobs card on Home counts active runs across all your workflows.
TipFilter the Jobs list by status when you only want to see, for example, everything that's Failed this week.
Common questions
Can a Cancelled job be picked up again?
No, cancelling is final for that run. Start a new job by triggering the workflow again — see Cancel and rerun jobs.
Does Queued always mean waiting for a schedule?
Usually, yes. A workflow can also be triggered from another system, in which case Queued is normally very brief before the job moves to Running.
