We’ve improved how you see what’s happening when a workflow is running. Here’s what changed: a visible timer, clearer progress, and a clear status so you always know where you stand.
What changed
When you launch a workflow (or turn it ON from the dashboard), it now shows a running timer in minutes and seconds (e.g. 2:35) so you see how long the run has been active. The progress bar fills as we find and save leads, and the lead count updates in real time. When the workflow finishes—either because it reached your lead limit or because there were no more listings—the timer stops and shows the total duration of the run. The status label switches from “Running” to “Finished”, and the launch button is disabled and greyed out so it’s obvious the run is complete.
Why a timer?
Before, it was hard to tell how long a workflow had been running or whether it was still working. Now you can see at a glance: a few minutes in, you know it’s active; after several minutes, you have a sense of how long similar runs take. When the timer stops and shows a final duration (e.g. 5:42), you know the run is done and you can use that to plan future workflows or spot if something took unusually long.
Why progress and status matter
The progress bar and lead count let you see that the workflow is actually finding leads, not stuck. When the status changes to “Finished”, you don’t have to guess—you can open the workflow and use the leads table right away. The greyed-out launch button and full progress bar make it clear that no second run will start by accident. Together, the timer, progress, and status give you a clear picture of what’s happening and when it’s safe to move on.
In short
You now get a running timer, live progress and lead count, and a clear “Finished” state with a final duration. That makes it easier to see how long a run took, when it’s done, and that everything completed as expected.
