Debugging and Replaying Failed Runs
Learn how to read execution histories, inspect step inputs and outputs, and replay failed runs so you can diagnose and recover from automation problems quickly.
Why Debugging Skills Matter
Even well-built automations fail sometimes — an app changes, data is malformed, or a service is down. The difference between a fragile and a reliable workflow is how quickly you can find and fix the cause.
Strong debugging skills turn mysterious failures into quick fixes.
The Execution History
Every automation platform keeps a history of runs. Each entry shows when the workflow ran, whether it succeeded, and how long it took.
This log is your starting point: scan it to spot failed or stalled runs.
