It seems to be impossible to debug subworkflows the same way I am debugging the workflows?
QUESTIONHow can I debug the subworkflows step by step?
for the moment I am losing all the competitive advantage of the debug feature
Describe the problem/error/question
- hitting the ‘debug’ button on a workflow does nothing
- I am triggering a WhatsApp webhook in the main workflow
- then I want to spread the message to subworkflows
the MAIN wokflow check if the user is running a command starting with a /
What is the error message (if any)?
there is no error
Please share your workflow
The subworflow retrieves the message send by the WhatsApp user
Share the output returned by the last node
- there is no output because I can’t debug the subworkflow
