Troubleshooting
Workflow Stuck on Approval
Check that approvers have access. Verify email/Slack notifications are configured. Approvers can approve from the workflow execution page.
Step Timeout
Increase step timeout in configuration. Check for network issues or slow external APIs. Consider breaking into smaller steps.
Terraform State Lock
Another apply may be running. Check for concurrent workflow executions. Use workflow concurrency settings to prevent conflicts.
Webhook Not Triggering
Verify webhook secret is correct. Check that workflow is Active (not Paused). Review webhook logs in trigger history.
