Troubleshooting "A job operation has been initiated from an action, but no listener has been configured to respond to it"

Last updated: April 21, 2025

When using a local development listener, you may receive a message similar to this:

Job started
A job with operation [your job name here] has been initiated from an action, but no listener has been configured to respond to it. Set up a listener to define what happens next

This message is displayed if the job is not being acknowledged.

When using a local development listener, there are a few reasons the event or job acknowledgement could not be completed.

  • A slow server/listener restart after a code change

  • Network blips

If this happens, restart your local development listener and attempt to run your job again.
