Lifecycle

A workflow defines what to collect and when. Each execution is a run. Kadoa tracks workflow, run, Assistant, and support states separately.

States

These diagrams show the common transitions.

Workflow

Active workflows run once, on a schedule, or continuously. An active workflow can be waiting between runs.

Run

Kadoa combines data quality checks with agent review. Runs that meet the approval requirements pass automatically. Unresolved issues or required human checks go to a Kadoa reviewer before delivery. Previous results stay visible.

Assistant activity

When the Assistant needs input, it is idle and shows Reply needed. Repairs appear as Updating in the UI.

Support

Support is independent of the other states. An open case does not mean a repair is running.

UI states

Badges show each state separately. For example, Preview + Updating + In support means a preview is being updated and a support case is open.

Badge	Meaning
Setup	Kadoa is preparing the workflow.
Assistant working	The Assistant is handling your request.
Preview ready	Review and approve, or request changes.
Preview	Preview data exists, but approval is currently unavailable. The banner explains why.
Running	Collecting data or monitoring continuously.
Verifying data	Delivery is on hold for Kadoa review. No review is needed from you.
Updating	Kadoa is changing or repairing the workflow.
Reply needed	Answer the Assistant’s question.
Scheduled	Waiting for the next run.
Complete	Finished, with no further runs scheduled.
Paused	Scheduled runs are paused.
Failed / Update failed	The latest attempt failed. Check run details.
In support	At least one support case is open.

Previous data stays visible during updates and after failures. The banner explains the current activity or action needed.

API states

Use presentation to display states and availableActions to enable controls. List and detail responses include:

Field	Meaning
`state`	Workflow lifecycle, such as `PREVIEW`, `ACTIVE`, or `PAUSED`.
`runState` / `execution`	Latest run state, progress, and preview availability.
`workspaceActivity`	`idle`, `assistant`, or `repair`.
`assistantState` / `sessionStatus`	Assistant conversation state.
`awaitingUserInput`	The Assistant needs your reply.
`inSupport`	At least one support case is open.
`presentation`	Banner status, badges, and dashboard group.
`availableActions`	Each action’s `allowed` flag and a `reason` when blocked.
`publishedJobId` / `jobId`	Run supplying displayed data / latest run. These can differ.
`displayState`	Combined workflow and run state, used for filtering.

A preview being updated returns:

{
  "state": "PREVIEW",
  "displayState": "PREVIEW",
  "workspaceActivity": "assistant",
  "presentation": {
    "status": "UPDATING",
    "badges": [
      { "kind": "lifecycle", "status": "PREVIEW" },
      { "kind": "activity", "status": "UPDATING" }
    ],
    "group": "working"
  },
  "availableActions": {
    "approve": { "allowed": false, "reason": "ASSISTANT_ACTIVE" }
  }
}

The API rechecks permissions and state when you submit an action. If a preview no longer reflects the workflow’s current settings, approving it does not activate the workflow. PUT /v4/workflows/{workflowId}/resume starts a new preview run with the current settings and responds with 202 and the new run’s jobId. Approve the new preview once it finishes. Bulk approval through POST /v4/workflows/bulk reports the same case per workflow with previewRestarted: true and the jobId.

Filtering workflows

Filter by dashboard group, displayState, or lifecycle state:

GET /v4/workflows?statusFilters=group:attention
GET /v4/workflows?statusFilters=group:attention,group:failed
GET /v4/workflows?displayState=RUNNING

Groups are attention, working, support, failed, active, complete, and paused. Open support cases always place workflows in support. In the dashboard, workflows you pin appear in a Pinned section above the status groups. Pins are per user and don’t change presentation.group or group filters. You cannot filter by presentation.status.
