| name | workflows-history |
| description | Show run history for a specific durable workflow using the Zapier SDK experimental Code Workflows commands. Use when the user asks for run history, execution history, what happened with this Zap, or how a workflow fired. |

Zapier Workflows History
Use the public SDK CLI experimental command surface. Do not use zapier-sdk-code-substrate.
Compatibility Gate
Before using this skill, run the workflows-doctor bundle compatibility check. If workflows-doctor is not installed or cannot be loaded, run workflows-install or install workflows-doctor from zapier/agent-skills before continuing. If workflows-doctor reports SDK/skill drift, follow its refresh instructions, stop this skill invocation, reload the agent workspace if needed, and ask the user to rerun the original request.
Identify The Workflow
If the user provides a workflow ID, use it directly.
If the user refers to the workflow by name or description, list workflows first and find the matching ID:
zapier-sdk --experimental list-workflows --json
If multiple workflows match, show the candidates and ask the user which one they mean.
Fetch Run History
zapier-sdk --experimental list-workflow-runs <workflow-id> --json
Parse the JSON output. Useful fields may include id, status, started_at, finished_at, input, and output.
When the workflow ID is known, include the Zapier editor link:
https://zapier.com/durables-editor/<workflow-id>
Drill Into A Run
If a single deployed workflow run failed or the user wants step-level detail:
zapier-sdk --experimental get-workflow-run <run-id> --json
Use get-durable-run <run-id> only for one-off synthetic runs created by zapier-sdk --experimental run-durable, not for deployed workflow runs returned by list-workflow-runs.
If a manual trigger response returns a trigger ID before a workflow run ID is available, bridge from trigger to run:
zapier-sdk --experimental get-trigger-run <trigger-id> --json
Summarize the failure, status, timing, input, output, and any step error details that appear in the response. Avoid dumping raw JSON unless the user asks for it.
