Flow is in the wrong state for this action

The requested change does not match the flow status at the time it was made.

Code
WHATSAPP_FLOW_INVALID_STATE
HTTP status
409

What to do now

  1. Reload the Flows list to see the current status, then run only the action that status allows. Publish applies to drafts only.

Why this happens

  • Publishing needs a draft, and other status changes need a published, blocked, or throttled flow.
  • Meta reported that the flow state does not allow the requested action.

Before you retry

This can be temporary. Wait a moment, then try the same action again.
