Testing a Workflow

Before publishing a workflow, you can run it in test mode to verify your logic, confirm that your variables are resolving correctly, and ensure that all configuration settings are valid, without making any changes to your live webstore data.

What Test Mode Does

  • Executes all read-only actions that retrieve data, for example, Get baskets and Get pending order authorizers, using your real webstore data.
  • Validates the configuration and settings of write actions, such as Send email and Google Sheets - Append row, to confirm they are correctly configured.
  • Does NOT execute write actions. No e-mails are sent, no Google Sheets rows are appended, no HTTP requests are sent, and no webstore data is modified.

Test mode uses real webstore data to evaluate conditions and return variable values, but it does not commit any changes. It is safe to run at any time, including before publishing.

Running a Workflow in Test Mode

Step 1: On the Workflows page, locate the workflow you want to test and open it.

Step 2: Click Test workflow on the workflow details page.

Step 3: After the test run completes, the Recent runs list shows the run with the trigger type Test run. Click Details to see the full execution log, including how data flowed through each step and whether any errors occurred.

Step 4: Review the workflow execution steps and results on the Run details page.
