Workflows

pause-resume-connection
Cycle a connection through pause and unpause for maintenance.
Reads a connection, pauses it, verifies the paused timestamp is set, then unpauses it to release held events for delivery.
3 steps inputs: connectionId outputs: connectionId, pausedAtAfterResume
1
readConnection
Read the connection to confirm it exists before changing its state.
2
pauseConnection
Pause the connection so new events are held with a HOLD status instead of being delivered.
3
unpauseConnection
Unpause the connection so any held events are attempted, respecting the destination delivery rate.

  title: Hookdeck Pause and Resume a Connection
  summary: Read a connection, pause it for maintenance, then unpause it to drain held events.
  description: >-
    Pausing a connection lets a downstream destination undergo maintenance while
    Hookdeck holds incoming events instead of failing them. This workflow reads
    the connection, pauses it, confirms it entered the paused state, then
    unpauses it so the held events are queued for delivery. Every step spells out
    its request inline so the flow can be read and executed without opening the
    underlying OpenAPI description.
