Flow Tester

After you have finished designing the flow, use the Flow tester to test the flow.

When designing a flow, runtime errors can go undetected until you build the app to execute the flow. It can become particularly cumbersome to test flows that start with a trigger which activates based on an external event, because you need to configure the external application to send a message to the trigger in order to activate the trigger and consequently execute the flow. Using the Flow Tester, you do not need to activate the trigger to execute the flow.

The Flow tester takes the input for the flow and executes the flow on demand without using the trigger. Each activity executes independently and displays its logs at the end of the flow execution. This lets you detect errors in the flow upfront without actually building the app.

Note: Currently, running the Flow tester in debug mode is not supported.
