As a team’s flow count grows, it’s common to want to identify flows that have gone stale — ones that haven’t run in months — and get them out of the way of active work.

Finding flows that haven’t run recently

Use the filters on your flows page:
  • Click Add filterLast run, and choose from the available windows (ran today/yesterday, or in the last 7/14/30/90 days).
  • Combine with the Status filter’s Has not run option to find flows with zero runs to date.
The Usage Reporting & Analytics Flow Report shows Total Runs Last 30 Days per flow, but doesn’t currently show a last-run date beyond that 30-day window. For flows that haven’t run in 6+ months, the Last run filter on the flows page (not the report) is the more direct path, since its longest preset window still surfaces anything with zero runs in the last 90 days.

Does Parabola have an archive feature?

Not as a dedicated feature at this time — there’s no “Archive” state separate from a flow simply existing and not being deleted. In practice, teams handle this with a naming or folder convention instead:
  • Create an “Archive” folder under Team flows and move stale flows into it. This keeps them out of the main folder view without deleting anything.
  • Prefix flow names (e.g., [ARCHIVED] Old Report Name) if you want stale flows to stand out in search results even before they’re moved.

Archiving vs. deleting

  • Moving to an archive folder keeps the flow, its run history, and its data fully intact and recoverable at any time — it’s purely organizational.
  • Deleting a flow is permanent. Deleted flows cannot be restored from the UI, and recovery via support isn’t guaranteed — see Can I recover a deleted flow?. If you’re unsure whether a flow is truly dead, archive it rather than deleting it.
