With the Run flow step button which is shown below the step's name you can run the current step without running the entire flow:
The flow step will then be executed and the debugger output will be shown directly in the flow builder:
The example above also uses references to other parts of the flow ({{ start_date }}
and {{ end_date }}
):
In order to run the Summary Report step, both referenced steps have to be run at some point before, e.g. as part of a regular flow run or through Run flow step.
The flow is always saved before running a flow step, thus the flow needs to be in a state where it can be saved (i.e. all connectors need to be connected, only one starting point, etc.).
When using Run flow step on a Looper, all steps within the looper will be run. The output shown will be the output of the Looper itself (i.e. a list of the Looper's results).
When running a flow step inside an action loop, the reference to the looper will not be the Looper's input (as it is the case in a regular flow run), but rather the Looper's output. Thus, testing those steps will not result in the same outcome as a regular flow run. Instead we recommend to run the Looper that the step is referencing.
When the index
variable is used in a step that is being run, index
it will be replaced by 0
.
The referenced steps need to be available as per setting of the flow. E.g. if the flow ran for the last time 5 days ago and the flow run data retention setting on the flow is 2 days, Run flow step would not work, as the output for the referenced steps are not available.
This functionality is currently not available for the and will return an error instead.
