Running a Workflow Test
A workflow test is a live simulation of your automation using real input data to ensure all steps; triggers, sources, transformations, and destinations; work together correctly.
Running a test helps validate that your mappings, credentials, and output logic are properly configured before the workflow runs automatically or processes live data.
Two Testing Options
Run the full workflow — Executes every step from trigger to destination, sending actual data to your connected apps. It counts as one workflow run within your monthly subscription quota.
Run the workflow until before the destination — This test mode executes every step except the final destinations. It lets you verify triggers, fetch layers, and transformations without actually sending data to external systems. Runs of this type do not count toward your monthly workflow run quota, making them ideal for setup testing and debugging.
How to Run a Test
To run a test, open your workflow in the builder and make sure all components; triggers, sources, transformations, and destinations; are properly configured. Once ready, click “Run Test.” Datamorf will then execute the workflow sequentially, displaying real-time results for each step. You’ll be able to see:
The data received by the trigger,
The results retrieved from each data source,
The computed outputs from each transformation, and
The responses from all destinations (if included in the run).
Why It’s Practical
Instant validation: Confirms that integrations and field mappings are correctly set up.
Safe debugging: If something fails, logs clearly show where the error occurred and what caused it.
Iterative refinement: You can tweak logic and rerun quickly until the workflow works perfectly.
Together, Playground testing and workflow test executions ensure every automation you build in Datamorf runs efficiently, reliably, and without errors before going live.
