Hello,

I did all the steps for creating a workflow extension, also the post request with the example json but I cant seem to make the extension show up in the workflow Editor.

My App is also in the Connected apps and I tried different testing apps but it still did not work.

Does someone have an idea where I could look to see where the problem ist, like logs or something?

Best regards

@EBurikov8 ,

You will probably need to provide some more details before anyone can assist here. Kind of flying blind at this point.

@himanshurauthan or @zaklein may be able to help with more info 😀

Hi @EBurikov8 ,

Can you please share us more information about the extension document you referring to? You can also share the sample code you’re trying to create.

If you followed [this](https://legacydocs.hubspot.com/docs/methods/workflow-extensions/workflow-extensions-overview), there should be no issue if you followed correctly.

However, if you are following [this](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api/automation/custom-workflow-actions), the newer documentation and it is named as “custom workflow action” but not “workflow extension”, I noticed that the sample code didn’t mention anything at all about

“published”: true

. By adding that, it should show up in visually in workflow page.

```lia-code-sample
{
 "actionUrl": "https://example.com/hubspot",
 "published": true,
}

```

You can also try an endpoint to fetch all and see if the one you created is listed.

- Older document - GET [https://api.hubapi.com/automationextensions/v1/definitions?hapikey=](https://api.hubapi.com/automationextensions/v1/definitions?hapikey=)\<\<hapikey\>\>&applicationId=\<\<app ID\>\>
- Newer document - GET /automation/v4/actions/{appId} as listed in documentation endpoint

Hope these helps!

Hi @lindahl

This helped 😄  
I actually followed the “newer” documentation and the problem was the missing

“published”: true

I added the option in my POST request and then I got the workflows extension in my Workflow View.

This is how I added it - If someone has the same problem 🙂

Thank you all for the fast help.
