Test Trigger

The Test trigger runs your workflow from the editor with a payload you supply. It behaves the same as a real webhook trigger — steps are scheduled and run, credits are consumed, and live API calls execute. Use it to verify your workflow with controlled input before enabling it on live traffic.

Running a test

1. Open the workflow editor.
2. Click More actions → Test data to open the editable Request body and Request headers panels. The request body becomes the data argument to start; the headers become the headers argument.
3. For Shopify webhook triggers, the request body is pre-filled with the topic’s sample payload. You can view the sample at any time (read-only) via More actions → Sample payload.
4. Click More actions → Run test.

The workflow runs from start exactly as it would on a live trigger. A Live Output panel opens below the editor and listens for real-time step events. Each row in the table represents one step execution:

Column	Description
Status	Green tick for success, red for failure
Status code	HTTP response code from the step dispatcher
Time	When the step executed
Duration	Wall-clock time for that step
Step	The method name that ran (- for the initial trigger)
Retries	How many times this step was retried
Data id	Internal identifier for this step’s payload
Payload size	Size of the payload passed to this step
Task	Workflow name
Method	HTTP method used to dispatch the step

Caution

Test runs execute real API calls — fetch() calls hit live endpoints and credits are consumed. Use test order IDs or sandbox credentials if you want to avoid side-effects.
