Test a workflow
Read a result before anyone else receives it.
- Open the workflow draft and choose Run now as a test run.
- Open the saved result in History. Check that the intended source was used, that dates are clear, and that the answer is useful.
- If the workflow should send a message, send a sample to yourself in the channel you plan to use. A test does not contact the configured recipient list.
- Check the run estimate against its planned frequency, then publish if everything is right.
Event-triggered tests use a synthetic event. They test the workflow path, not the truth of a filing or market event. Do not treat their figures as research evidence. A real Run now on a published workflow can use its configured destinations, so check which run mode is selected.
If another run is already active, wait for it to finish before testing again. See Runs and history to inspect the result and delivery record.
