# errors.WORKFLOW_FAILED

## NAME

WORKFLOW_FAILED — a workflow processor or guard condition returned a failure during entity state transition.

## SYNOPSIS

HTTP: `400` `Bad Request`. Retryable: `no`.

## DESCRIPTION

During an entity create or transition operation the associated workflow processors (pre-processors, post-processors) or guard conditions ran but one of them signalled failure. The failure message from the processor is included in the error detail.

Not retryable unless the underlying condition has changed. The failure originates from application logic in the processor; the data, the processor implementation, or the workflow configuration determines the outcome.
