POST /api/v1/workflow/rules/{id}/test-bench

Replay the last days of items (202: a job).

  • Scope workflow:rules:write
  • Idempotency-Key
  • Asynchronous
  • operationId workflowTestBench

The token needs the scope workflow:rules:write, and the person or service account behind it needs the matching privileges and account permissions, exactly as on the screens. See Scopes.

Idempotency-Key. Send a unique Idempotency-Key (up to 255 characters, e.g. a UUID) with every POST. Retrying with the same key and body replays the first answer for 24 hours, so a timeout never creates a second order; the same key with a different body is refused (idempotency_key_reused).

Asynchronous. Long operations answer 202 with a Job. Poll GET /api/v1/jobs/{id} (every 1 to 5 seconds) until status is succeeded or failed; the result is in result.

Status codes and errors

Errors are application/problem+json (RFC 9457) with a stable code to program against; the detail says what to fix. See Errors.
