How to trigger a scheduled event microflow while debugging?

Hi there!

 

We usually create a tab that we call 'Conversion' on the administrator account's homepage. This is where we will then place individual buttons for all Scheduled Events (and other automated processes that require debugging or testing). To make it even easier: just drag the SE flow from the App Explorer to your page and the button will appear. Works like a charm!

 

Additionally, when working for an Acceptance or Production environment, we use a Conditional Visibility statement that hides the Conversion buttons (or the entire tab) from these environments or certain roles :). This way only you can see and use them. This visibility is usually based on Environment (dev for example) or on a special role that we give to ourselves as devs.

 

Hope this helps!!

 

Cheers

Hey Vivek,

 

When you're wanting to test scheduled events locally you can select the 'Enabled' flag to turn them on locally. You'll want to make sure you've set the execution time for the scheduled event to a time that will work for you or be executed in the near future so you're not just waiting for the event to fire.

Should post this in Questions, but to debug it, just create button that will trigger microflow that are you using in SCE.
