Testing configured triggers

To test your trigger, you need to run the trigger event in the web service account for which you have set up the trigger.

Before you begin

Go to your Twitter account and post a new tweet.

Procedure

  1. Go back to your canvas and click the Test at the bottom of the Test trigger form.

    The data from the event you just triggered (for example, your tweet) is fetched.

    If you configured the trigger correctly, you see the output data for the trigger. It gives you an idea of how your trigger works when used in a workflow and which keys are returned in the output of the trigger. The output data is then used to configure the rest of the workflow.

  2. Optional: If you don't want to test the trigger, you can click Skip.
    If you Skip testing the trigger, the system uses the mock data for that trigger to configure the rest of the workflow.
