Resume a paused flow

When you use the Pause or Pause Raw flow control cards in your API Endpoint flow, you can resume the flow using a call to the flow's invoke endpoint. See Invoke a flow with an API endpoint.

Before pausing or resuming an API endpoint flow, make sure that the security settings are correct. See Invoke an API endpoint flow.

Use the following procedure to resume a flow invoked through an API endpoint.

  1. In the API Endpoint Settings dialog, copy the URL from the Resume URL field.
  2. To invoke the flow, perform a GET or POST request to the Resume URL. Use the POST method if you need to send data in the body of the request.

    • The Resume URL requires the execution ID. You can get this ID from the flow's execution history, or inside the context object that is returned when you invoke the flow.

    • For an API endpoint secured using a client token, include the client token as a query parameter to the Resume URL.

    • For an API endpoint secured with OAuth 2.0 authorization, include the access token in the request to the Resume URL.

After you resume a flow, the rest of the flow runs normally. The final output of your flow is returned as the response.
