nocobase-workflow-manage
Goal
Use the nb api workflow command surface to orchestrate workflows end-to-end: design trigger logic, build node chains, manage versions, and inspect execution results.
CLI usage rules:
- Use
nb api workflowas the canonical command namespace for workflow operations. - If the CLI is available but not authenticated for the target app, stop and guide the user to authenticate the CLI before continuing.
- Before using an
nb api workflowsubcommand you have not used yet in the current task, run its-honce and follow the generated help text for flags and examples.
Scope
- Handle: inspect workflow definitions, nodes, version state, executions, and failed jobs.
- Handle: create new workflows for business targets, then configure triggers and nodes sequentially.
- Handle: update existing workflows by creating a new revision first when the current version is frozen.
- Handle: enable workflows, move/duplicate/delete nodes or branches, and execute workflows only after explicit high-risk confirmation.
- Handle: diagnose failed executions and identify the failed job, node, or configuration mismatch.
- Handle: approval initiator, approver, and task-card UI authoring through
flowSurfaceswhen the UI is bound to workflow or approval-node config.
