  • ActivityTaskScheduled – An activity task was scheduled for execution.

  • ActivityTaskStarted – The scheduled activity task was dispatched to a worker.

  • ActivityTaskTimedOut – The activity task timed out.

  • CancelTimerFailed – Failed to process CancelTimer decision. This happens when the decision isn't configured properly, for example no timer exists with the specified timer Id.

  • CancelWorkflowExecutionFailed – A request to cancel a workflow execution failed.

  • ChildWorkflowExecutionCanceled – A child workflow execution, started by this workflow execution, was canceled and closed.

  • ChildWorkflowExecutionFailed – A child workflow execution, started by this workflow execution, failed to complete successfully and was closed.

  • ChildWorkflowExecutionStarted – A child workflow execution was successfully started.

  • ChildWorkflowExecutionTerminated – A child workflow execution, started by this workflow execution, was terminated.

  • ChildWorkflowExecutionTimedOut – A child workflow execution, started by this workflow execution, timed out and was closed.

  • CompleteWorkflowExecutionFailed – The workflow execution failed to complete.

  • ContinueAsNewWorkflowExecutionFailed – The workflow execution failed to complete after being continued as a new workflow execution.

  • DecisionTaskCompleted – The decider successfully completed a decision task by calling RespondDecisionTaskCompleted.

  • DecisionTaskScheduled – A decision task was scheduled for the workflow execution.

  • DecisionTaskStarted – The decision task was dispatched to a decider.

  • DecisionTaskTimedOut – The decision task timed out.

  • ExternalWorkflowExecutionCancelRequested – Request to cancel an external workflow execution was successfully delivered to the target execution.

  • ExternalWorkflowExecutionSignaled – A signal, requested by this workflow execution, was successfully delivered to the target external workflow execution.

  • MarkerRecorded – A marker was recorded in the workflow history as the result of a RecordMarker decision.

  • RecordMarkerFailed – A RecordMarker decision was returned as failed.

  • RequestCancelExternalWorkflowExecutionFailed – Request to cancel an external workflow execution failed.

  • RequestCancelExternalWorkflowExecutionInitiated – A request was made to request the cancellation of an external workflow execution.

  • ScheduleActivityTaskFailed – Failed to process ScheduleActivityTask decision. This happens when the decision isn't configured properly, for example the activity type specified isn't registered.

  • SignalExternalWorkflowExecutionFailed – The request to signal an external workflow execution failed.

  • SignalExternalWorkflowExecutionInitiated – A request to signal an external workflow was made.

  • StartActivityTaskFailed – A scheduled activity task failed to start.

  • StartChildWorkflowExecutionFailed – Failed to process StartChildWorkflowExecution decision. This happens when the decision isn't configured properly, for example the workflow type specified isn't registered.

  • StartChildWorkflowExecutionInitiated – A request was made to start a child workflow execution.

  • StartTimerFailed – Failed to process StartTimer decision. This happens when the decision isn't configured properly, for example a timer already exists with the specified timer Id.

  • TimerCanceled – A timer, previously started for this workflow execution, was successfully canceled.

  • TimerFired – A timer, previously started for this workflow execution, fired.

  • TimerStarted – A timer was started for the workflow execution due to a StartTimer decision.

  • WorkflowExecutionCancelRequested – A request to cancel this workflow execution was made.

  • WorkflowExecutionCanceled – The workflow execution was successfully canceled and closed.

  • WorkflowExecutionCompleted – The workflow execution was closed due to successful completion.

  • WorkflowExecutionContinuedAsNew – The workflow execution was closed and a new execution of the same type was created with the same workflowId.

  • WorkflowExecutionFailed – The workflow execution closed due to a failure.

  • WorkflowExecutionSignaled – An external signal was received for the workflow execution.

  • WorkflowExecutionStarted – The workflow execution was started.

  • WorkflowExecutionTerminated – The workflow execution was terminated.

  • WorkflowExecutionTimedOut – The workflow execution was closed because a time out was exceeded.
