Debug workflow in the workflow builder live - testing with a contact
B
Brahim Scaling Adventures
It should be similar to any other automation tool - they allow for live building, testing, and debugging. I need to be able to run each action and clearly see the input and output, and test my workflow step by step instead of building the entire thing and testing it all without knowing the input vs output and hoping that it works. I find it difficult to build workflows in GHL confidently, unlike other platforms (n8n, Make, etc.) where you can clearly see what you're dealing with.
An implementation similar to n8n's Logs drawer would be a great start!
+ Exposing the input/output when viewing a contact execution path when the user click on a certain action would be a simple first implementation.

It would be great to add a debug action so we can print variables for debugging purposes

This would be great. Especially when testing premium triggers and actions.

Dear High Level, also consider adding a default test contact. I dont like having to type in the same name/number to run my workflow test over and over. This can lead to bad mistakes too by running a workflow with a real contact

Def need this. Main reason why most of my automations still live in n8n

Worflow Testing - Move a contact back a step

When testing a workflow, it would be really helpful to be able to move a contact BACKWARDS through the stages - to redo a step that has been edited for example.

Two Enhancement Requests:
When testing a workflow from the Test Workflow button, have that override the setting of reentering the workflow. For workflows that I only want someone to go through once, sometimes I need to test it multiple times while building and then have to go and toggle on the Reentry setting.
Be able to test an individual action from within the action's edit window. For example, when creating a Webhook action, I don't need to test the whole flow of the automation to send data through the webhook. I'd like to just test that specific action from within the edit view.

[Workflow] Ability to test one step within a workflow

It would be nice to be able to test just one step of the workflow instead of having to test the entire thing. For example, if I want to test "create a spreadsheet row" in Google Sheets, I shouldn't have to test the rest of the flow.
