Simulate Process App<\/strong><\/h4>\n

To simulate your Process App, follow the below steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. On the Flow page, click Simulator<\/strong> on the top-right.<\/li>\n
  2. On the Simulations window, you can find the Running<\/strong> and Completed<\/strong> tabs that display the in-progress<\/em> and completed<\/em> simulations.<\/li>\n
  3. Click +Simulation<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  4. On the Simulations window, you can find triggers. Select a trigger to test the workflow.\n
      \n
    1. If the trigger type is a Form<\/strong>, the system opens up the form for you to submit.<\/li>\n
    2. If the trigger type is Callable<\/strong>, the system displays all the process apps that have Call a Subflow<\/em> task and are associated with the current process app.\n
        \n
      • Parent process apps are displayed.\n
          \n
        1. Select a parent process app to execute. On selection, the system displays the triggers applicable for the parent process app.<\/li>\n
        2. Select a trigger, and if the selected trigger is a form, you can submit it from the same screen. Else, a text message is displayed according to the trigger.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
        3. If the trigger type is Scheduled<\/strong>, the system allows you to schedule the process app execution.\n
            \n
          1. On the property panel, you can enter the input to trigger.<\/li>\n
          2. Enter the limit<\/strong> for the process app execution and based on the input, the scheduled trigger execution occurs.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
          3. If the trigger type is Conversational<\/strong>, you can select the bot to trigger the process app.\u00a0 Then, click Trigger<\/strong> to trigger the process app.<\/li>\n
          4. If the trigger type is Webhook<\/strong>, the system displays a text message against each trigger as shown below:\n
              \n
            1. Webhook Trigger <\/strong>– The system displays a text stating Please do a post-call to the endpoint URL, and if posted successfully, check the execution status under simulator instances.<\/em><\/li>\n
            2. A help text with payload data is added to notify you if simulated through a webhook. This is added as part of the payload for a simulator instance.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
            3. If the trigger type is Email<\/strong>, the system displays the below details to trigger a process app:\n
                \n
              • From Address<\/strong> – It uses the default platform email setup to send the email to the process app email address.<\/li>\n
              • To Address<\/strong> – This will default to the trigger email address of the process application<\/li>\n
              • Subject\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n
              • Compose message\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n
              • Trigger\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n
              • Email<\/strong> – An email is sent successfully message is displayed on success. If failed, it displays an error message.<\/li>\n
              • Process app is triggered if the email content matches the trigger definition.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
              • Click Exit Simulator<\/strong> to exit the simulation process.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div><\/div>

                Simulator Instances Information<\/strong><\/h4>\n

                The system displays all the instances that are executed for the process app. It also displays the previous 3 days process apps that are simulated to go back and check details of the instance that got stimulated. You can find the following information:<\/p>\n

                  \n
                1. Instance Initiation Date & Time<\/li>\n

                    \n
                  1. Nodes transitions are displayed against each instance\n
                      \n
