What happened?

I have created a flow that works perfectly in the anythingllm interface, but when I try to send the same prompt via the localhost:3001 chat workspace API, my flow doesn't work and the AI responds: 'Unfortunately, I had trouble carrying out the operation. flow trigger in API dont work?

Does the UI show the flow had an error? It would show in the status box if the flow began an execution and failed to do so. Please attach a screenshot of a "failure" that you are experiencing and we can go from there.

The industries analyzed include:\n\n- Retail Fashion (NAICS 448)\n- Footwear (NAICS 4482)\n- Pharmaceuticals (NAICS 3254, 44611)\n- Beauty Products (NAICS 8121, 44612)\n- Oil (NAICS 211120)\n- Electronics (NAICS 44314)\n- Department Stores (NAICS 452)\n\n---\n\n#### Market Estimates by Industry\n\n1. Retail Fashion (NAICS 448)\n - The retail fashion market in Latin America has shown significant growth, with leading nations being Brazil, Argentina, Chile, and Colombia. The competitive landscape is strengthening as consumer demand increases.\n\n2. Footwear (NAICS 4482)\n - The footwear segment accounts for a notable portion of the retail market size and is driven by both domestic consumption and export opportunities. Growth in this sector is expected due to increasing demand for diverse, comfortable, and fashionable options.\n\n3. Pharmaceuticals (NAICS 3254, 44611)\n - The pharmaceuticals sector is projected to grow as healthcare access improves across the region. The industry is heavily influenced by regulatory changes, innovation, and the results of continued investment in healthcare infrastructure.\n\n4. Beauty Products (NAICS 8121, 44612)\n - The beauty industry in Latin America has a strong growth trajectory, fueled by an increasing interest in personal care and wellness. The demand for skincare, cosmetics, and related products is driving further market expansion.\n\n5. Oil (NAICS 211120)\n - With regions rich in oil reserves, the oil industry remains vital for countries like Ecuador and Colombia. Fluctuating global oil prices can affect revenue and investment in this sector.\n\n6. Electronics (NAICS 44314)\n - The electronics market is growing due to the increasing digitalization and consumer electronics uptake. There's a shift towards smart devices and innovations in technology.\n\n7. Department Stores (NAICS 452)\n - Department stores are adapting to changes in consumer shopping behavior by enhancing their online presence and improving customer experience within physical locations. Growth is expected with innovations in retail strategies.\n\n---\n\n#### Conclusion\nThe combined market for the highlighted industries in the selected Latin American countries presents significant opportunities, especially for companies that can capitalize on current consumer trends and demographic shifts. As businesses in these industries aim for growth, understanding market dynamics and consumer preferences will be essential for strategic planning.\n\nIf you need detailed statistics, forecasts, or further insights into a specific market segment, feel free to ask!",

Are you on AnythingLLM Desktop or Docker? You can check the backend logs to see what specific tools get loaded every @agent session. That API call seems to be running the RAG memory + Web search tools and avoiding the flow.

This could be related the the APIChatHandler being Ephemeral, since API sessions cannot stay open for agents since it is REST - which is the root cause of flows not being available here most likely.
