# Restart many workflow executions

`POST /workflows/executions/bulk-restart`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://be.graph8.com/api/v1`
- URL: `https://be.graph8.com/api/v1/workflows/executions/bulk-restart`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

"Re-run all failed", in one call. EVERY NODE RUNS AGAIN.

Not a resume: a restart begins at the start, so nodes that already
succeeded run a second time - including anything that sent a message,
called an API or spent credits the first time.

Voice applies a 60-second idempotency window to this route, so an
accidental double-submit inside that window does not double-run the batch.
Send an `Idempotency-Key` header as well for the app-wide guard.

Every execution in the batch is scoped to the caller's org before it is
touched; ids belonging to another tenant are simply not found.

A restart runs each workflow as it is NOW. When one has record steps or a
record trigger, the key needs the object scopes they exercise (403
``missing_scopes`` refuses the whole batch, nothing restarts), and only the
workflow's owner or a graph8 admin may restart it: for any other member that
item is reported in ``failed`` with ``owner_or_admin_required`` while the
rest of the batch goes ahead. When graph8 cannot confirm who is an admin,
that item is refused, never guessed, and also reported in ``failed``.

## Headers

- `Authorization` string, nullable
- `X-Target-Org-Id` string, nullable

## Request body

- object: Which executions to restart, in voice's batch shape (e.g. `execution_ids`).

## Response `200`

Successful Response

- ApiResponseVoicePayload
  - `data` VoicePayload, required: One voice object - a collection, an agent, a route, a chat. Open-shaped: voice adds fields to these bodies on its own release cadence and a dropped-or-added key must not be a 500 in this service.
  - `pagination` PaginationMeta
    - `page` integer, required: Current page number (1-indexed)
    - `limit` integer, required: Items per page
    - `total` integer, required: Total number of items
    - `has_next` boolean, required: Whether there are more pages
    - `next_cursor` string, nullable: Opaque cursor for the next page; null when there are no more items. Pass it back as the `cursor` query param to fetch the following page without computing page numbers.
    - `total_available` integer, nullable: Search endpoints only: how many records really match, when known. Can be larger than `total`, which is capped at the 10,000 results that can be paged. For company search this is a distinct-company estimate. Null when unknown; absent outside search.
    - `total_is_lower_bound` boolean, nullable: Search endpoints only: true when more records match than `total` shows (the result set is larger than the 10,000 results that can be paged). Absent outside search.
    - `notes` string[], nullable: Search endpoints only: plain-language notes about the result, e.g. that more records match than can be paged, or that a reversed `between` range was put in order.
