Testing & versions

Every workflow is versioned: edit a draft, test it against a test person with expanded run logs, then publish. Production never sees an untested change.

View as Markdown

Workflows run against real customers, so the editor is built like software releases: a staging version you edit and test, and a production version that answers the real traffic. Publishing promotes staging; until then, production doesn't move.

Testing a flow

  1. 1
    Open the test panel
    Chat with the draft version right in the editor — no phone call needed, even for voice flows.
  2. 2
    Watch the expanded log
    Each turn shows the node that ran, the route the AI chose and why, the variables extracted, and each webhook's status and response.
  3. 3
    Fire a test event
    For triggered workflows, run it against a test person (name, email, phone you control) — the SMS really sends, to you.
  4. 4
    Publish
    Promote staging to production. The old version stays in history; roll back by promoting it again.

Run logs in production

Every production run keeps the same expanded log — node fired, route chosen, extraction, webhook results, notification outcomes (including "skipped: DND"). When a customer says "I never got the text", the answer is one click away.

Test the failure route too

Webhook nodes have conditional routes for a reason. Point the failure branch somewhere honest — a ticket, an owner alert — and test it by aiming the webhook at a wrong URL once. Silent failure is the only unacceptable outcome.
