List workspace workflows
Return the catalog workflows of a governed workspace as a paginated list. Each row carries the workflow's metadata and three counts: states_count, projects_count, and work_item_types_count.
The chain is not on the row. Use Get a workspace workflow for states, referenced_resources, project_ids, and work_item_type_ids. Project workflows never appear in this list, and in an ungoverned workspace it returns 409 states_managed_at_project.
Path parameters
slug:requiredstringThe workspace slug. It appears in your Plane URLs. In https://app.plane.so/my-team/projects/, the slug is my-team.
Query parameters
Filters combine with AND.
name:optionalstringReturn the workflow with this name. The match is exact but case-insensitive, so delivery finds Delivery.
is_active:optionalbooleanReturn only active (true) or only inactive (false) workflows. A new workflow stays inactive until you activate it.
is_default:optionalbooleanReturn only the workspace default workflow (true) or every other workflow (false).
search:optionalstringA search term matched against the name and the description.
Ordering
order_by:optionalstringField to sort by. Prefix with - for descending.
created_at,-created_at: when each workflow was created.-created_atis the default.name,-nameupdated_at,-updated_atid,-id
Only created_at and id are cursor-eligible. Pairing paginate=cursor with order_by=name or order_by=updated_at returns 400 ordering_not_cursor_eligible.
Pagination
per_page:optionalintegerPage size. Defaults to 50, maximum 200.
offset:optionalintegerNumber of rows to skip from the start of the result set. Maximum 10000. Use the next value from the response instead of computing offsets yourself.
paginate:optionalstringSet to cursor to switch to the keyset envelope, which skips the COUNT query and returns next_cursor and has_more instead of next and total_count. Leave it out to get the default offset envelope.
count:optionalbooleanDefaults to true. Set to false to skip the COUNT(*) behind total_count. The field is then omitted from the response.
Response shaping
fields:optionalstringComma-separated list of fields to return on each row. Fields you don't request are left out of the response instead of coming back as null, so a missing key means you didn't ask for it and null means the value is null. id is always included, whether or not you name it.
Pass all to get every requestable field. An unknown field name returns 400 with the list of valid names and the closest match, so a typo is caught instead of being silently ignored.
Requestable here: created_at, created_by_id, description, id, is_active, is_default, name, projects_count, states_count, updated_at, updated_by_id, work_item_types_count.
The detail-only fields states, referenced_resources, project_ids, and work_item_type_ids aren't requestable on the list. Naming one returns 400.

Errors
| Status | Code | Cause |
|---|---|---|
400 | invalid_request | An unknown or detail-only name in fields, or a malformed filter value. |
400 | ordering_not_cursor_eligible | paginate=cursor with an order_by that isn't cursor-eligible. |
401 | unauthorized | Missing or invalid credentials. |
403 | forbidden | Your role or token scope can't view workspace workflows. |
404 | not_found | No such workspace, or it's outside your tenant. |
406 | not_acceptable | The Accept header asks for a representation the API can't produce. |
409 | states_managed_at_project | The workspace doesn't have governance turned on. Use the project's workflows instead. |
429 | rate_limited | Throttled. Honor the Retry-After header before retrying. |
