Building flows

Run once and test runs

Try a flow for real, or without sending anything.

  • Run once runs the flow for real, right now: live data, emails and messages really sent, credits used, results kept. The button shows what a run will cost.
  • Test run (nothing is sent), in the flow's ... menu, runs it without sending anything. Blocks that would send show what they would have sent: the email, the Slack message, the request.
  • Test up to here, in a block's Advanced settings, runs only up to that block.

While a run goes on, the canvas follows it: the block at work says what it is doing (Searching 7 parts of London), dots run along the links whose items are on their way, each finished block shows how many items it passed on, and an AI block types out the first reason it wrote. Press Stop to end it: no further block starts and a block at work is stopped (a block that is sending finishes what it started).

When it ends, the run panel says in one line what happened: Found 50 places, 12 new, 9 strong fits, emailed. Below it are the results, and under How it ran each block with its items.
