Hi all,

I created a custom api and I am calling it using perform a bound action in flow.

But my flow is failing after 10mins due to time out.

I am tested my code and its working fine with other entities and i have this ossue with particular entity. I did unit tests also, everything seems fine. I am not able to find what is the issue.

I want debugg the plugin to check the errors, i am trying to debug using profiler in plugin registration tool. But I am not sure what "message" i have to add in plugin registration step, as I am calling it in flow. I dont think create or update msg will work.

Is there any way to debug this custom api?

So it does not matter from where you are triggering your plugin..If you attached the profiler as described in the below article , you should be able to debug your plugin line by line

@Mira_Ghaly
I tried with trace logger. I can see where my plugin is stopping from it. But I am using same code for different tables as i mentioned above, but its not working for only one table.
I dont see any mistake in my code.
I want to debug the plugin and see why its stopping at that step.

I want debug my code line by line. But I am not sure how to do that.
I am calling this API with dynamics 365 using flow.

Thank you...

So you are having a plugin or custom workflow activity called from an action?

Have you tried to use trace logs?
