feat(table): add workflow execution column type by TheodoreSpeaks · Pull Request #4338 · simstudioai/sim

TheodoreSpeaks · 2026-04-29T08:27:34Z

Summary

Adds sim workflow as a datatype to tables. Now you can auto trigger workflows per row.

Workflow is now a column type. You can choose which block outputs display as columns
Added ui to trigger per row or per column
Added dependency tracking to check for cells being filled before proceeding
Added table trigger block
Adjusted cells so double click on long content opens a bigger cell window
Added mothership types so it can call it too.

PR Summary

Medium Risk
Adds new table workflow-group APIs/UI and introduces new realtime table rooms + HTTP bridge events; errors in permission checks, room cleanup, or payload shapes could impact data visibility and live-update behavior.

Overview
Enables tables to treat workflows as a first-class column type by introducing workflow groups that expand into multiple output columns with dependency/run configuration, plus UI to configure outputs, run groups/rows, and improve cell editing (inline editors + expanded popover).

Adds new table API routes to create/update/delete workflow groups, trigger/cancel runs, and rerun a workflow group for a single row (including clearing outputs and setting execution state). Table row queries/responses now include executions, and column normalization/table detail responses surface workflowGroupId/workflowGroups.

Extends Realtime with table:${tableId} Socket.IO rooms (join-table/leave-table with workspace-permission checks) and an internal HTTP bridge to broadcast table-row-updated/table-row-deleted/table-deleted events, including socket ejection on table deletion for both memory and Redis room managers.

Greptile Summary

This PR introduces a first-class "workflow execution column" type for tables: each row can auto-trigger a configured workflow, with live partial-output streaming, dependency ordering between groups, and cancellation support backed by a SQL guard. The feature spans a new DB column (executions jsonb), trigger.dev cell tasks, socket-based realtime merging, and several new API routes.

P1 – silent false-success on cancelled run: POST /api/table/[tableId]/rows/[rowId]/run-workflow-group ignores the nullable updateRow return. When the SQL cancellation guard fires, the route still returns 200 { success: true, executionId } with no run actually enqueued, leaving the client polling indefinitely.
P2 – debug logging in production: 8 [STOP-DEBUG]-tagged logger.info calls remain across service.ts, workflow-columns.ts, and hooks/queries/tables.ts; they emit verbose per-row JSON on every write and cancel scan.

Confidence Score: 3/5

The P1 false-success response on a guard-rejected run should be fixed before merging to avoid silent polling loops in the UI.

One P1 (null return not handled in run-workflow-group route) pushes the score below the P1 ceiling of 4; the additional leftover debug logging and unguarded cancel query further lower confidence in production readiness.

apps/sim/app/api/table/[tableId]/rows/[rowId]/run-workflow-group/route.ts (null return), apps/sim/lib/table/service.ts and apps/sim/hooks/queries/tables.ts (debug logging), apps/sim/lib/table/workflow-columns.ts (cancel query scope)

Important Files Changed

Filename	Overview
apps/sim/lib/table/service.ts	Core table service expanded with workflow group CRUD, execution scheduling, realtime socket notifications, and cancellation guard logic; contains leftover `[STOP-DEBUG]` log statements and the `updateRow` null return must be handled by callers
apps/sim/lib/table/workflow-columns.ts	New scheduler/trigger/cancel orchestration for workflow-group cell jobs; per-row cancel query is missing a `tableId` filter and contains a `[STOP-DEBUG]` log
apps/sim/app/api/table/[tableId]/rows/[rowId]/run-workflow-group/route.ts	New route to manually (re-)run a workflow group for a single row; discards the nullable `updateRow` return, so a cancellation-guard rejection returns a false-success 200 response
apps/sim/background/workflow-column-execution.ts	New trigger.dev task that runs a single workflow-group cell, writes partial block outputs live, and handles cancellation guards correctly via `writeWorkflowGroupState`
apps/sim/lib/table/cell-write.ts	New shared primitive for writing group execution state with cancellation-guard awareness; clean implementation
apps/sim/hooks/queries/tables.ts	Extended with socket-based realtime row delta merging, polling fallback, and new workflow-group mutation hooks; contains 4 leftover `[STOP-DEBUG]` log statements
packages/db/schema.ts	Adds `executions jsonb NOT NULL DEFAULT '{}'` column to `user_table_rows`; migration is present and correctly structured
apps/sim/app/api/table/[tableId]/groups/route.ts	New POST/PATCH/DELETE handlers for workflow groups; auth + workspace checks are consistent across all three methods
apps/sim/lib/table/trigger.ts	New direct webhook trigger firing for insert/update row events; fire-and-forget pattern with proper error isolation
