Workflow Debugger

Workflow Debugger

πŸ› Workflow Debugger

We are excited to launch our Debug Workflows capability for all customers!

If you've ever wondered why a workflow did not run and spent time debugging it, this is for you.

This compares incident conditions against expected values against actual values and provides a pass or fail result depending on what was satisfied.

  • Debug in seconds instead of manually cross checking if conditions were met
  • Drill down into specific workflows on a per incident basis
  • Used for incidents, postmortems, action items, pulse, and alert workflows
  • Support for custom field conditions

Our Workflow Debugger complements our other suite of engineering productivity tools such as Incident Variable Explorer.
