Automations Overview

There are two main ways to ensure your workflow is functioning correctly: testing nodes and running workflows.

Testing Nodes

Testing nodes allows you to verify if a specific node within your workflow is functioning as expected, without executing the entire workflow. To test a node:

1. Click on the node you want to test.

2. Click the 'Test' button located at the bottom of the node configuration screen.

3. The test results will appear in the debugging area within the node configuration screen, allowing you to view the output and ensure the node is working correctly.

Running Workflows

Running a workflow involves executing the entire workflow, either manually or through a trigger event. This helps ensure that the entire workflow, including all the connected nodes, is functioning correctly. There are two ways to run a workflow:

1. Manually: Click the 'Run' button located at the top of the workflow canvas. This will execute the workflow once, starting from the first node.

1. Triggered: Configure a trigger node in your workflow (e.g., a time-based trigger or an event-based trigger). When the trigger condition is met, the workflow will execute automatically.

Debugging Area

The debugging area is available for every node and the entire workflow. This area displays the output data, error messages, and other relevant information for a node test or a workflow run. Use this area to help identify and fix any issues that may arise during testing or execution.

1. Node Debugging: When testing a specific node, the debugging area is located within the node configuration screen. You can view the output data and any error messages related to the node's test.

1. Workflow Debugging: When running a workflow, the debugging area is located at the bottom of the workflow canvas. This area displays the output data, error messages, and other relevant information for the entire workflow run.

By using tests and runs effectively, you can ensure your workflows are running smoothly and identify any issues that may require troubleshooting.
