Execute Automation button action not functioning as expected (AP Tenants)

André — Thu, 11 Sep 2025 23:37:09 GMT

Within the last few days, I am seeing that the 'Execute Automation' action on a button chart is not functioning as expected.

The automation is set to run-mode triggered with async set to no. However when clicking the button to execute the automation, it runs, and immediately returns a notification of 'Automation finished', rather than waiting for automation completion and returning/notifying with the output/run title as expected.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Here are the simple automation blocks, takes the input parameter passed from the button, sleeps 5 seconds, then outputs/updates run title - which should be returned to the user in the toast notification.

{"blocks":[{"id":"7289A7FE-F606-4878-8288-1E1DB3309FD7","type":"FormBlock","disabled":false,"name":"inputs2","displayName":"Inputs 2","comment":"Inputs received from button","childId":"755C3E64-E4CE-4659-AFA4-6BFAC23E7623","inputs":[],"settings":[{"id":"persist_data","value":"no","type":"select","structure":[]},{"id":"automations_censor_data","value":false,"type":"checkbox","structure":[]}],"collapsed":[{"name":"loop","isCollapsed":false}],"x":-110,"y":-1601,"form":[{"id":"inputs2-input-0","label":"app","helpText":"null","type":"input","values":null,"isRequired":false,"options":{},"order":0},{"id":"inputs2-input-1","label":"bookmark","helpText":null,"type":"input","values":null,"isRequired":false,"options":{},"order":1},{"id":"inputs2-input-2","label":"sheet","helpText":null,"type":"input","values":null,"isRequired":false,"options":{},"order":2},{"id":"inputs2-input-3","label":"user","helpText":null,"type":"input","values":null,"isRequired":false,"options":{},"order":3},{"id":"inputs2-input-4","label":"space","helpText":null,"type":"input","values":null,"isRequired":false,"options":{},"order":4},{"id":"inputs2-input-5","label":"tenant","helpText":null,"type":"input","values":null,"isRequired":false,"options":{},"order":5},{"id":"inputs2-input-6","label":"time","helpText":null,"type":"input","values":null,"isRequired":false,"options":{},"order":6},{"id":"inputs2-input-7","label":"INPUT","helpText":null,"type":"input","values":null,"isRequired":false,"options":{},"order":7}],"persistData":"no"},{"id":"755C3E64-E4CE-4659-AFA4-6BFAC23E7623","type":"SleepBlock","disabled":false,"name":"sleep","displayName":"Sleep","comment":"","childId":"0A07B137-28DD-44FE-946F-541A3FDA22FA","inputs":[{"id":"time","value":"5","type":"string","structure":[]}],"settings":[],"collapsed":[{"name":"loop","isCollapsed":false}],"x":-110,"y":-1481},{"id":"0A07B137-28DD-44FE-946F-541A3FDA22FA","type":"ShowBlock","disabled":false,"name":"output5","displayName":"Output 5","comment":"","childId":"793C248B-C254-4EEF-878C-250E365AF6CC","inputs":[{"id":"input","value":"✅ Done - { $.inputs2.INPUT }","type":"string","structure":[]}],"settings":[{"id":"display_mode","value":"add","type":"select","structure":[]}],"collapsed":[{"name":"loop","isCollapsed":false}],"x":-110,"y":-1361},{"id":"793C248B-C254-4EEF-878C-250E365AF6CC","type":"UpdateJobBlock","disabled":false,"name":"updateRunTitle","displayName":"Update Run Title","comment":"","childId":null,"inputs":[{"id":"title","value":"✅ Done - { $.inputs2.INPUT }","type":"string","structure":[]}],"settings":[{"id":"automations_censor_data","value":false,"type":"checkbox","structure":[]}],"collapsed":[{"name":"loop","isCollapsed":false}],"x":-110,"y":-1241}],"variables":[]}

For context, I have tested on another AP tenant, and the issue persists. I have also tested on a US tenant and the issue does not occur.

Hi @André Same issue persists with me.. i have access to two different tenants (both in diff region) and same issue is happening in each. This issue started from yesterday. Multiple prod apps are dependent on this mode of Automation. Hope it gets resolved soon.

This appears to have been fixed now. I had to replace/recreate the button that I created while the issue was occurring.

@SalmankojarMnM FYI
