Debug
Writes diagnostic messages or passes values through unchanged while a Workflow runs.
Use this Node when you want to:
- Write a simple diagnostic message during execution.
- Confirm that a value is reaching a point in your Workflow.
- Pass a value through unchanged, while making the value visible in the designer.
Version History
0.0.0.7 - Current release.
Setup Notes
You can add this Node to a Workflow without authentication or external setup.
Methods
The Debug Node exposes lightweight processor methods for tracing and inspection. It does not connect to an external system and it does not change the value you pass to an echo method.
Write
Writes a message to the debug output for the running Workflow.
Use this method when you want to leave a marker in diagnostic output, such as the current branch, a record identifier, or a checkpoint in a longer process. This method is useful for temporary diagnostics while you build or troubleshoot a Workflow.
