            Test or Troubleshoot Flows with the Flow Builder Debugger

            If you’re testing your flow to make sure that it works as expected or troubleshooting a failed flow, the Debug option in Flow Builder can be your best friend. Review step-by-step details of how your flow runs and the path the flow takes.

            To debug a flow in Flow Builder: View All Data
            To open, edit, create, activate or deactivate a flow using all flow types, elements, and features available in Flow Builder, including Einstein and Agentforce for Flow: Manage Flow
            Warning
            Warning If you debug a flow without selecting Run flow in rollback mode, the flow performs its actions, including any Data Manipulation Language (DML) operations and Apex code execution. Remember, closing or restarting a running flow doesn’t roll back its previously executed actions, callouts, and changes committed to the database.

            The Flow Builder debug option has some limitations. See Flow Builder Debugger Considerations.

            To use generative AI to diagnose errors and automatically apply fixes, see Troubleshoot Flow Errors with Agentforce (Beta).

            1. Open the flow in Flow Builder.
            2. Click Debug.
            3. Set the debug options and input variables.
              The debug options vary depending on the flow type.

            4. To debug the flow as another user, turn on debugging as another user.
              1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Process, and then click Process Automation Settings.
              2. Turn on Let admins debug flows as other users.
              3. Save your work.
                Let admins debug flows as other users enabled and highlighted in process automation settings.
                Warning
                Warning When you debug a flow as another user, the flow makes record changes and performs actions as that user. Also, the user’s profile and permission sets determine the object permissions and field-level access of the flow. However, flows that always run in the system context ignore the user’s object permissions and field-level access.
              4. In Debug Options, select Run flow as another user and search for the user that you want to debug.
                You can debug a flow as another user only in a sandbox environment.
            5. Click Run.
              The debug details for the run appear in the right panel. The debug run is organized into cards (1) that highlight key information about the run. To resize the debug panel, drag the edge of the panel to your desired width, or click Expand icon and Shrink icon(2). To search the debug run results, enter a search term in the search box (3). To copy the debug log to your clipboard, click Copy icon(4).

              Note
              Note From the Debug Details panel, you can also click Ask Agentforce (Beta) to get an AI-generated root cause analysis and optionally apply an automatic fix. See Troubleshoot Flow Errors with Agentforce (Beta).

            6. If you selected Debug wait element behavior when you set the debug options, select a Wait Path, and then click Continue the Debug Run for each Wait element in the flow.
              The debug details for the run appear in a panel on the right.

            7. (Optional) To restart the flow by using the same or different values for the input variables, click Debug Again.
            8. (Optional) To convert the debug run to a test in a record-triggered flow only, click Convert to Test.

              Use Agentforce to troubleshoot design-time issues in saved flows and run-time errors in active flows, eliminating the need for manual troubleshooting. The Flow Automation agent diagnoses issues, identifies root causes, and explains remediation steps all in natural language. In some situations, the Flow Automation agent can automatically fix the flow for you.
