Each sync change creation workflow has a pause/resume control on its workflow card. Use it to turn a workflow on or off without deleting or reconfiguring it.
Open the workflow list for an integration pair and look at the icon row on a workflow's card:
An active workflow shows a pause icon.
A paused workflow shows a play icon.
Click the icon to toggle the workflow. Violet asks you to confirm before applying the change:
Pausing shows: "This will pause this workflow: scheduled runs and manual 'Create Changes' will be blocked until it is resumed. Any paired execution workflow is not affected. Are you sure?"
Resuming shows: "This will resume this workflow. Are you sure?"
After you confirm, Violet shows a notification confirming the workflow was paused or resumed.
Pausing a workflow sets it inactive and:
Removes its scheduled job, so a scheduled workflow no longer triggers on its cron schedule.
Disables the "Create changes for entire integration" action on the card. Hovering over the disabled action shows "Workflow is paused, resume it to create changes."
Blocks the underlying API from creating pending sync changes for that workflow. Any attempt returns an error until the workflow is resumed.
Pausing a sync change creation workflow does not affect a paired execution workflow. That workflow keeps running independently.
Resuming a workflow sets it active again and:
Re-registers its scheduled job using the workflow's stored cron schedule, if it is a scheduled workflow.
Re-enables the "Create changes for entire integration" action.
The pause/resume state persists on the workflow configuration (isActive), so it survives page reloads and applies consistently across the API and UI.
Renaming a workflow or making other partial edits does not change its active state or disturb its schedule.
