Using Helper Function in Workflow: How?

Bugs
13

If you type something into the search field for the Helper Functions app, do you see any actions?

14

some of the time, depends on the search

15

Thanks! So when the search field is blank, no actions appear. If you enter “send”, for example, you see some actions, including the Send Webhook action?

16

right

17

It seems like a bad query result could be cached for your Pipedream account. Should be temporary.

Posted thread to Discourse: What is the best way to incorporate a helper function into my workflow?

19

just btw I’m still having this issue on my account, trying to use helper functions and most of them don’t load

20

I managed to find them by tweaking my search query, but it’s pretty annoying.

21

is there something I can do on my account to resolve this issue? Does it happen with other accounts?

22

It might be related that I contributed a couple of the helper function components, at the time I had published to my account (via the CLI) and unpublished (via the UI once it was available).

23

any chance you can help investigate this one? I know Jacob looked into it briefly

24

Yes, let me ping eng to see what we can do

25

I was just able to fix it by “publishing” my own helper function component. As soon as I unpublished it however it reverted to the broken state.

26

Interesting

27

that should give an idea where to look (some type of caching I suppose)

28

I wonder what will happen if I unpublish an action from another app

29

Nope, seems to only affect the helper functions on my account

30

Strange. I’m chatting w/ eng about this now.

Zalman, what is your Pipedream username for the account in question?
