# Workflow Status

Pline categorizes workflows into three distinct statuses based on their usage within the current calendar month. Understanding these statuses will help users manage their workflows effectively and make informed decisions about their subscription plans.

### **1. Monthly Active Workflows(MAW)** <a href="#id-1.-monthly-active-workflows-maw" id="id-1.-monthly-active-workflows-maw"></a>

Monthly active workflows are those used for data extraction at least once in the current calendar month. Users can create unlimited workflows, but only active ones count.

This status resets on the first day of each month.

#### **Monthly Active Workflow Limits by Plan:**

Different subscription plans offer varying limits on the number of monthly active workflows:

* **Starter Plan:** Up to 10 monthly active workflows
* **Professional Plan:** Up to 30 monthly active workflows
* **Enterprise Plan:** Scalable monthly active workflows

Once a user reaches the monthly active workflow limit for their plan, any additional workflows remain locked until the next calendar month unless the user upgrades their plan.

### **2. Inactive Workflows** <a href="#id-2.-inactive-workflows" id="id-2.-inactive-workflows"></a>

Inactive workflows are workflows that have not been used or haven’t extracted any data in the current calendar month.

Workflows that were used only once during onboarding or accessed from the workflow directory for trial purposes are also considered inactive. Since these workflows were not actively used for data extraction, they do not count towards the inactive workflow limit.

A workflow is classified as inactive if it has not been executed in the current month, regardless of its past activity.

### **3. Locked Workflows** <a href="#id-3.-locked-workflows" id="id-3.-locked-workflows"></a>

Locked workflows are workflows that become inaccessible when a user reaches their monthly active workflow limit based on their subscription plan. Once the limit is reached, only the designated number of monthly active workflows remain accessible, while all others are locked.

#### **How to Unlock Locked Workflows:**

To regain access to locked workflows, users have the following options:

* **Wait until the next calendar month** when the workflow count resets.
* **Upgrade to a higher plan** that supports more monthly active workflows.

By understanding these workflow statuses, users can efficiently manage their workflows and optimize their usage based on their subscription limits.
