Why did my Attio workflow stop creating new deals?

The Attio help pages give 4 common reasons. The first to rule out: Some triggers only react to changes made after a record exists, so a workflow built on one can miss records that arrive already filled in, and fewer deals get created.

Wins · Are they booking and buying?

Is it broken, or just quiet?

A number can fall because fewer people came, or because something stopped counting them. Below are the causes the Attio help pages give, and how to check each one yourself.

What causes it?

  1. Some triggers only react to changes made after a record exists, so a workflow built on one can miss records that arrive already filled in, and fewer deals get created.

    In the Attio help: These triggers fire only when changes happen after the record or list entry is created. Troubleshooting workflows, read 2026-11-12.

  2. When a workflow's conditions are joined by and, every one has to be true, so one strict condition can stop a workflow from creating deals it used to create.

    In the Attio help: Conditions joined by and require every condition to be true Troubleshooting workflows, read 2026-11-12.

  3. A workflow does not get permission to change every object on its own, so one without access to deals can fail to create them.

    In the Attio help: Workflows do not automatically inherit write access to every object. Troubleshooting workflows, read 2026-11-12.

  4. A step that relies on a value that was empty when it ran can fail, which can stop the deal from being created.

    In the Attio help: This error appears when a block references a variable that had no value at the time the block ran. Troubleshooting workflows, read 2026-11-12.

How do I check it myself?

  1. Look at the workflow's run history to see when it last ran and whether its recent runs finished.

    In the Attio help: The run viewer shows a complete history of your workflow runs. Troubleshooting workflows, read 2026-11-12.

  2. Open a failed run and look at the step that failed. Attio gives an error message that says what went wrong.

    In the Attio help: Click a failed block to display a detailed error message in the sidebar. Troubleshooting workflows, read 2026-11-12.

How would I know the day it starts?

  • Feder reads your new deals from Attio each day and compares each day with your own history.
  • It tells you when new deals go quiet or move outside their usual range.

Some numbers are too quiet to judge daily, such as a form filled in a few times a week. Until there is enough of your own history to judge a change, Feder says it is still learning and scores nothing, rather than guessing.

Where do these answers come from?
