# Resolve Paused Automation Executions

`POST /api/v1/automations/{id}/circuit_breaker/resolve_paused`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://example.conductor.one`
- URL: `https://example.conductor.one/api/v1/automations/{id}/circuit_breaker/resolve_paused`
- Auth: HTTP bearer and OAuth 2
  - Client credentials
  - Token URL: `/auth/v1/token`

Decide what to do with the executions that were paused while the
 automation's circuit breaker was tripped. Idempotent.

## Path parameters

- `id` string, required: The unique identifier of the automation whose paused executions should be resolved.

## Request body

- C1ApiAutomationsV1ResolvePausedAutomationExecutionsRequestInput: The ResolvePausedAutomationExecutionsRequest message.
  - `decision` 'PAUSED_EXECUTION_DECISION_UNSPECIFIED' | 'PAUSED_EXECUTION_DECISION_RUN' | 'PAUSED_EXECUTION_DECISION_CANCEL': Whether to run or cancel the paused executions.
  - `reason` string: Optional human-readable reason for the resolution decision. Stored on the audit row (paused_run / paused_cancelled events) for post-mortem and compliance use. Surfaced in the FE as a required field on CANCEL so admins capture why bulk-cancellation happened. Up to 1024 bytes.

## Response `200`

Successful response

- C1ApiAutomationsV1ResolvePausedAutomationExecutionsResponse: The ResolvePausedAutomationExecutionsResponse message.
  - `bulkActionId` string: The bulk action ID created to resolve the paused executions. Track progress via the BulkAction API.
  - `erroredCount` integer: Deprecated: see paused_count.
  - `pausedCount` integer: Deprecated: previously returned inline resolution counts. Now returns the bulk action ID for async tracking.
