Can a Valid `resumeUrl` be Reliably Generated in Pipedream's Paid Plans for a Workflow Triggered Live on a Startup's Chrome Plugin?

Hey folks! Small startup here :wave:

I’m working on a workflow that needs to pause and resume via a resumeUrl — this is part of a system where:

  1. a Chrome plugin sends initial data to a Pipedream webhook to start the workflow
  2. I process that data in the workflow with some code which outputs json
  3. I then need to send back that data to the Chrome plugin
  4. The chrome plugin performs an operation on that data locally on the system its installed on
  5. The plugin then sends back the final json payload which is needed in the rest of the workflow so that the workflow can continue processing
    To make that work, I need to generate a dynamic URL in the workflow that I can send back to the plugin as a resumeUrl. I’ve tried multiple approaches:
    What I’ve tried:
    • $.flow.generateStaticResumeUrl()

Throws is not a function
• $.workflow.url and $.context.workflow.url
Return undefined during execution
• $.executionId and manually constructing a URL like https://e.pipedream.net/${executionId}
When triggered live via a real request to the deployed webhook, it resolves to https://e.pipedream.net/undefined
In all cases, when I try to build the resume URL from these values, I either get errors or invalid URLs when running the workflow live.

What I need:
Before I commit to upgrading to a paid plan, I just want to confirm: Will I be able to reliably generate a valid resumeUrl (for the current execution) when this workflow is triggered live (not in test mode) if I’m on a paid plan (Basic or Advanced)?
The docs suggest this should work, but my current results suggest otherwise on the free tier. Im now considering buying the 348 dollar plan, but I first want to know if im doing something wrong, or if upgrading will even work at all!

Thanks a ton in advance — I’d love to get this confirmed before I pull the trigger on the upgrade.

With kind regards,
Thijs

You can use $.flow.suspend(), it’ll return a resume_url and a cancel_url, check out the docs:

Thanks Andrew. Let me check if that works. It should also work on free plan yes?

Yep
