Production mode
When a flow is in production mode, it receives and processes real events from the connected channel. Outside of production, the flow is paused and doesn't react to incoming messages.
When to use it
Activate production only when the flow has been tested and is ready for real users. Each production execution consumes $0.005 from your balance.
Steps
- 1On the canvas, click the «Production» button in the top right bar (Radio icon).
- 2Confirm the activation. The button turns red and shows «LIVE».
- 3The flow now receives real messages from the connected channel.
- 4To pause: click «LIVE» again → confirm.
- 5Important: pause the flow before editing nodes or connections to avoid partial executions.
Reference
- LIVE status
- The flow is active and processing real events. The button is red with a pulsing indicator.
- Paused status
- The flow doesn't receive events. Messages arriving while paused are lost (not queued).
- Multiple active flows
- You can have several flows in production simultaneously. Each responds to its own channel and trigger.
- Rollback
- If an active flow starts failing, pause it immediately and review the execution history.
Common errors
- «Cannot edit in production»
- Pause the flow before editing. Exception: global tool definitions.
- Flow in production but not responding
- Verify the channel webhook is active in Meta/BotFather and that the balance is sufficient ($0 balance = no executions).
- Duplicate executions
- If the same message triggers the flow twice, two channels are pointing to the same number, or two flows are active for the same trigger.
