What is a Launch Configuration?

Create a Launch Configuration to hold test data that you want to use as input to the flow. Launch Configurations allow you to save and use your input data without having to enter it every time you want to test or retest the flow.

Blank flows use data configured in the Input Settings tab of Flow Inputs & Outputs as the input to the flow. Flows created with a trigger use the output of the trigger as input to the flow. A Launch Configuration is a test configuration that contains a set of data with which to test the flow.

Launch Configurations are useful when you want to test the flow with complex data or multiple sets of data. Create a Launch Configuration once with the data that you would like to use as an input to the flow and use the Launch Configuration as input to the flow instead of manually entering the data every time you execute the flow. Each Launch Configuration can contain one set of data. To test a flow with multiple sets of data, create multiple Launch Configurations for a flow with each Launch Configuration containing one set of data, then test the flow with one Launch Configuration at a time.

Once you create a Launch Configuration, it automatically get saved and is available to you until you explicitly delete it.

Important: When exporting an app, if the app contains Launch Configurations to hold its test data, the Launch Configurations will not be exported with the app. Launch Configurations in an app must be exported independent of the app export.
