share your workflow debugging tips
Nov 25234
ive been building increasingly complex workflows and debugging them is becoming a skill in itself. sharing some things ive learned:
1. test with real data early. dont build the whole workflow and then test. test after every 2-3 nodes
2. use the node inspector to check what data is flowing through each node. most bugs are data format issues
3. add a "debug" table where you log intermediate results. helps when you need to see what happened at step 5 without re-running the whole thing
4. give your nodes descriptive names, not "HTTP Request 1", "HTTP Request 2". call them "Fetch Customer Data", "Update CRM Record" etc
5. when looping over items, test with 2-3 items first not your full dataset of 500
