Disabling steps for testing

Posted on by AK42

Hello. While I am building a flow and testing different steps, is there any way to disable any of the steps without deleting them? Let's say steps 1 through 10 are working fine. I want to modify step 2 and test it but I don't want all the rest of the flow to run while I'm testing step 2.

No, there is no way to disable steps, as that would screw with the back-end logic. What is recommended is to produce test/dev Flows for each step and just delete them as you confirm that the step is working as intended.

Add a Condition step, essentially, "WHERE 1=1". This creates a Yes and a No branch. Move your step to Yes for enabled, move it to No for disabled.

The accepted solution was from 2020, as a newer user I'm not sure if this exsisted when this was answered, but I wanted to share that This is kinda possible now, not exactly disabling, but just lets it pass. This article was written in October of 2020
