Improved Workflow Run Details Page
Flow has introduced enhanced tools for troubleshooting and understanding workflow actions. These improvements allow you to view the data provided to each action, offering better insights into what occurred during a workflow run.
Troubleshooting Made Easier
Previously, when an action succeeded, it was often challenging to determine its specific impact on your store. For instance, when updating a metafield value, it could be unclear which value was set. With the new update, you can now access detailed step data to see exactly what happened.
- By clicking on “Step data,” you can view the input provided to each action, such as order IDs and tags.
- Actions like “Add order tag” will display the input data, although output may remain null for certain actions.
- Trigger data visualization helps you better understand the data Flow uses from an event to execute workflows.
These enhancements make it easier to investigate and resolve issues within your workflows.
Advanced Workflow Run Search
Flow has improved its search capabilities, enabling you to search for specific step data in workflow runs. This functionality streamlines the process of locating relevant information during troubleshooting.
How to Use the Search Feature
- Navigate to the list of workflow runs in the Flow app.
- Select “Add filter” and then choose “Includes text” to begin your search.
- You can search for any text fields available in step data, but ensure you omit punctuation. For example, search “124443” instead of “gid://shopify/Order/124443.”
This feature is especially useful for identifying specific workflow runs based on provided data, such as order IDs or tags.
