Flow Traces

Flow traces allow you to see the inputs and outputs of every block in your flow, as well as how long that flow took to run. This is really useful for debugging strange behavior (when it seems like blocks are skipping, for example) or extremely slow/long-running flows (since you can see which blocks are taking the longest).

This guide explains how to enable and capture a flow trace.

Step 1 - Go to Components#

First we need to head to the components page, you can do this by clicking the Components button in the sidebar.

Step 5 - Go to Analytics#

Next we want to head over to the analytics page, we can do this by selecting the analytics button in the sidebar.

Step 6 - Open Trace#

Next we want to run the flow by either causing the trigger to execute naturally or by manually executing it. After this you should see that we have a analytics entry with a blue event id, we need to click on this to access the trace for that flow execution.

Step 7 - Trace#

You should now be in the flow trace page where you can see a breakdown of what the flow did and how long it took. You also get a breakdown of each blocks inputs and outputs. This is very useful when trying to debug a problem with a flow.
