Log to History List

(2) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

One of the most used actions in SPD Workflows and in Nintex as well is the log to the history list. I don't see the equivalent action in Flow. Is this because the error messages make this unnecessary? What about if you need to the see the value of a variable? I'm completely new to Flow so if this is already answered elsewhere let me know.

    Hi @boydcster,

     

    I suppose that you want to use “Log in History” action in Microsoft Flow, but the “Log in History” action is not supported in Microsoft Flow. There is an alternative way to see what is going on with your workflow variables in Microsoft Flow.

    You could view the run history of a flow to see the value of a variable in Microsoft Flow, select a flow run from the list of runs to see the inputs and outputs of each step.11.JPG

    If the flow runs failed, there is a red exclamation icon in error step of run history. You could achieve error details from the failure step of run history.12.JPG

     

    If you want to view the value of a variable, you could expand the step to see details of inputs and outputs by clicking the step.13.JPG

     

    More details about viewing the run history of a flow, please check the following document:
    Manage a flow

     

    If you are a beginner of Microsoft Flow, I think the following document is helpful for you:
    Guided learning of Microsoft Flow

     

    Best regards,

    Kris
