Every time a workflow runs, for real or as a test, Hiveku keeps a record of what each step did. That is where you look when someone says “it says it ran, but nothing happened”. This guide opens the test run of Northwind’s Monday follow-ups workflow.

​
Find the runs

On the Workflows page, Recent Runs lists the latest runs of all your workflows. Click one to open it.

The latest runs, on the Workflows page

In a workflow, click Runs next to the switch: Run History lists that workflow’s runs, newest first, with how long each took. Test marks a test run.

See every run of a workflow

On the Workflows page, click Manage next to All Workflows. In a workflow’s menu, click View executions. The page counts the runs, the failures and how long a run usually takes, and the buttons above the list show only the Failed, Completed, Running, Test or Live runs.
The executions page: the filters All, Failed, Completed, Running, Test and Live, and a completed test run with 4/4 steps in 3.3s, outlined

Good to know

  • A red step says why it failed. Open it, fix the setting it names, save, and test again.
  • Re-run with care. Re-run starts the workflow again with the same data. For a live run, its emails and records happen again.
