Debugging the RPA Flow
Debugging is an essential part of the RPA workflow development process. After identifying issues in your automation flow, whether by updating activities, checking data types, or modifying the flow, you must debug your workflow to ensure proper functioning. You must consider these points to debug your workflow:
- Revisit your workflow to understand the context of the issue. Ensure that the logic of the flow and the sequence make sense and align with your automation objectives.
- Identify the specific activity or step where the issue occurs. Review the properties, inputs, and outputs of this activity to focus on potential problems.
- Review and update the configuration if an activity within the workflow is causing issues. Ensure the correctness of the parameters and input values.
- Verify the data types (for example, strings, numbers, dates) used in your workflow are consistent and correctly formatted. Mismatched data types can lead to errors.
- Modify the flow, if required. This can include reordering activities, adding conditional logic, or introducing error-handling mechanisms to address unexpected situations.
