Known issues
This section lists known issues in Workflow Builder.
Natural language support
Status
OPEN
Issue
The conversational designer does not support adding the following capabilities using natural language prompts:
Human-in-the-loop (HITL) approvals
Event triggers
Data filtering
To create workflows with these capabilities, you can use the UI to add these nodes to your workflow manually.
Workaround or recommendation
N/A
Natural Language reliability
Status
OPEN
Issue
Creating a workflow from natural language may occasionally result in a workflow that cannot run.
Workaround or recommendation
Try generating the workflow again if the first attempt fails.
Runs tab loading failures
Status
OPEN
Issue
Intermittent failures may occur when loading sessions in the Runs tab.
Workaround or recommendation
If sessions fail to load, try refreshing the page.
Connectors not showing after authorization
Status
OPEN
Issue
A connector might not show up in the UI or work using natural language immediately after being authorized.
Workaround or recommendation
Perform a hard reload of your browser:
Windows/Linux: Ctrl + Shift + R or Ctrl + F5
macOS: Command + Shift + R
Execution timeouts under heavy load
Status
OPEN
Issue
Workflows may experience "Failed to build node" errors or timeouts during execution when the system is under heavy load.
Workaround or recommendation
Ensure only necessary connectors are enabled for the agent to reduce load.
Disabled actions failure
Status
OPEN
Issue
Attempting to use actions (like sending an email) that are not enabled in your environment results in execution failure.
Workaround or recommendation
Ensure required actions are enabled before running the workflow.
Disable actions failure
Status
OPEN
Issue
Workflow failed to prompt the user to enable necessary actions for workflow creation.
Workaround or recommendation
N/A
Model recommendation
Status
OPEN
Issue
For optimal performance and best results, we recommend using the 3.1 Pro model.
Workaround or recommendation
N/A
Approval node formatting
Status
OPEN
Issue
HTML and Markdown formatting in human-in-the-loop (HITL) approval steps
may display as raw text when added as a sub-step.
Workaround or recommendation
N/A
Event-triggered workflows failing with RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED
Status
OPEN
Issue
Event-triggered workflows failing with a RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED error (generally seen when a daily quota is breached) are not retried automatically.
Workaround or recommendation
N/A
Connector search records returned by connector type
Status
OPEN
Issue
Connector search tools return a specific number of records depending on the connector type, such as Jira or Outlook.
Workaround or recommendation
N/A
OAuth re-run required for A2A and ADK agents
Status
OPEN
Issue
If you add an A2A or ADK agent that requires user OAuth for authentication, continuing the same run after the OAuth flow is complete is not supported.
Workaround or recommendation
The user must first authenticate, and then start a new run of the workflow.
Limitations
The Gmail subject field does not support non-English characters.
Connector actions that list entities (for example, retrieving emails) might not return all items when the total number is very large. This is because the connector's API is limited to fetching a finite number of pages, with a default page size of 20. Items beyond the capacity of the maximum pages fetched are not retrieved.
Clarifying questions support: Existing agent steps support asking
clarifying questions during workflow execution when using native protocol
signals (such as A2A input-required or ADK RequestInput). Other workflow
step types do not use prompt-based clarifying questions.
