Job and Task Lifecycle States

The Automation Builder lifecycle refers to the various states associated with running an automation. Each state (i.e., status) corresponds to a running job or task in a workflow.

Job Lifecycle

Upon start, a job is set to running status. Running jobs can move into cancelled, completed, or error states.

Task Lifecycle

When a job is started, its tasks are set to an incomplete status. From incomplete, tasks move into running or scheduled states. A running task can move to completed, canceled, or error states.
