Workflows

Workflows Query

Returns a paginated list of Workflow objects, with optional filtering and ordering. Workflows represent business process definitions that can be executed by the Temporal workflow engine.

Arguments

Name	Type	Description
after	Cursor	Returns the elements in the list that come after the specified cursor
first	Int	Returns the first n elements from the list
before	Cursor	Returns the elements in the list that come before the specified cursor
last	Int	Returns the last n elements from the list
orderBy	WorkflowOrder	Ordering options for workflows returned from the connection
where	WorkflowWhereInput	Filtering options for workflows returned from the connection

Return Type

WorkflowConnection! - A connection to a list of Workflow objects with pagination information.

Notes

The data field contains custom workflow attributes as JSON. You can use the Data, DataHasKey, DataIn, and DataContains filters to query based on JSON content. For complex JSON field queries, see Advanced JSON Field Queries.

Usage Example

query {
  # Get active workflows
  workflows(
    where: {
      active: true
    },
    orderBy: { direction: DESC, field: CREATED_AT }
  ) {
    edges {
      node {
        id
        name
        active
        filterRule
        dataTypeSlug
        data
        createdAt
        workflowsignals {
          id
          eventName
          start
        }
      }
      cursor
    }
    totalCount
  }
}

query {
  # Search workflows by name
  workflows(
    where: {
      nameContains: "picking"
    },
    first: 20
  ) {
    edges {
      node {
        id
        name
        active
        filterRule
        dataTypeSlug
        data
        workflowsignals {
          id
          eventName
          start
          data
        }
      }
    }
    pageInfo {
      hasNextPage
      hasPreviousPage
      startCursor
      endCursor
    }
  }
}

query {
  # Get workflows with specific data type
  workflows(
    where: {
      dataTypeSlug: "order_processing"
    }
  ) {
    edges {
      node {
        id
        name
        active
        filterRule
        data
        workflowsignals {
          id
          eventName
          start
          createdAt
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Common Filters

• nameContains - Search by workflow name substring

• name - Find by exact workflow name

• active - Filter by active status

• dataTypeSlug - Filter by data type slug

• filterRule - Filter by rule definition

• tenantID - Filter by tenant

• createdAtGTE / createdAtLTE - Filter by creation date range

Notes

• Workflows define business process templates for execution

• Integration with Temporal.io workflow engine for reliable execution

• Active workflows are available for execution

• Filter rules determine when workflows should be triggered

• Workflow signals define the events that can start or control workflows

• Support custom fields through data/dataType system

• Essential for orchestrating complex business operations across services
