[baguse]

Hey everyone!

I’m excited to share that the Flow Manager Extension just got a shiny new update — v1.4.12 is out now!

Here’s what’s new:
Added the ability to get the last error of a flow (debugging just got easier!)
Fixed the flow run counter (no more sneaky miscounts)
Improved the logic for running flows without confirmation dialogs

Go check it out — hope this update makes your flow life smoother than ever!

Hi @baguse, thank you very much for sharing your updates with us, these are great to see. The latest updates are also showing in the extensions marketplace: directus-extension-flow-manager - Directus Extensions

Hi @Beth , thank you. I hope it can be helpful to the community. AFAIK, the Directus Cloud can only install trusted extensions. Is it true?

Hey @baguse, I’ve just upgraded to Directus v11.13.3 this morning, and now when I open Flow Manager I’m getting a popup error message saying this:

Settings

[Error] Flow Manager fields are not configured. By clicking the ‘Configure’ button, you will create the necessary fields or re-create the existing fields.

Fields to be re-created:

• flow_manager_last_run_message on directus_flows

It doesn’t actually seem to affect anything, and I’m able to just close the popup and everything seems to work as normal, it’s just annoying that it pops up every time.
I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling it, but still get the same thing. Not sure which “Configure” button the error message is referring to.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi @Burvs, sorry for the inconvenience. Do the pop-ups still appear after you click the Configure button?

Actually, the change is about the data type of flow_manager_last_run_message field from varchar(255) to text. Because there is an issue when the message is more than 255 chars

Hey @baguse yes it’s sorted now thanks after I just read your other reply on Github. But posting the process here in case anyone else is following:

I had to go into the Directus settings → Data Model, show the System Collections, go into the directus_flows collection, and delete the flow_manager_last_run_message field.
Then I went back to Flow Manager, and the error popup then had a Configure button which recreated the field, and it’s all good now.

It just wasn’t clear what I needed to do. There was no “Configure” button on the error popup until I manually went and deleted that field.

Thanks for the walkthrough. The bug is on the Configure button. Actually, v1.4.14 already fixed the issue

Sneak peek!!

I’m developing a new feature so we can have a dashboard to view the total success count/failed count. The features include:

• View the chart for all flows related to success count and failed count
• View flow detail, you can view the execution result like the native one, with a refresh button, so you don’t need to do a hard refresh

Please let me know if you have any additions! Thanks!
Here are some screenshots
