Setting Up Scheduled Flows in Postman

Issue Description

I’ve created two flows in Postman and need help understanding how to schedule them. When trying to create a webhook, I encounter an error:

“The Start block’s data type must be set to ‘any’ in order to be published.”

Current Challenges

  • Cannot locate the publish button
  • Uncertain about correct publication process
  • Attempted using monitor collection but unable to transfer entire flow
  • Some blocks are not requests, causing transfer issues

Help Needed

Would appreciate assistance with either:

  1. Webhook setup configuration
  2. Alternative scheduling solution

Any guidance on resolving the data type error would be particularly helpful.

Hi @supply-meteorologis1 —

Thanks for the question and welcome to our community!

  • Cannot locate the publish button
    This guide provides an overview of how to build and deploy a webhook. You must first set your start block to be “any” which you can do following these instructions.

  • Uncertain about correct publication process
    See the guide linked above. Once you “create” as webhook you then publish it. That deploys the current version of the flow to the cloud which is then invoked when you trigger the Webhook by calling it.

  • Attempted using monitor collection but unable to transfer entire flow
    I am not entirely sure what you are looking for help here. Are you trying to run the flow using a Monitor? If so, you need to create a request which run the published webhook (using the webhook URL) and the use Monitors to run the request on a schedule.

  • Some blocks are not requests, causing transfer issues
    What blocks are causing issue? What issues are you seeing?

Guild Start Issue

Support Request

Hi,

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I set the start block to “any” but it’s still not working and I can’t start the guild.

I’m including a screenshot to show the issue.

Would you be able to help me figure out what’s wrong?
