Validate workflows
Workflow validation checks for configuration errors, missing required inputs, and broken connections before you publish, so you can catch problems early and avoid runtime failures.
Automation orchestrator validates your workflow structure as you build and again when you attempt to publish. Validation checks include verifying that all required step fields are configured, that data connections between steps resolve to compatible types, and that the workflow has a valid trigger. When validation finds an issue, it highlights the affected step and describes the problem so you can correct it before activating the workflow.
- Understand workflow validation
Automation orchestrator validates your workflow automatically each time you save, run, or publish. Validation findings fall into two severity levels that determine what actions you can take. - Check your workflow for errors before publishing
Resolve validation errors and warnings in your workflow so you can publish it. - Save a workflow that has validation issues
You can save a workflow even when it has unresolved validation issues. This is useful when you want to preserve work in progress without resolving all issues first. - Validate a workflow definition without saving
Check whether a workflow definition passes validation before you save or publish it. This is useful when you want to test a definition for errors or warnings without creating a new version. - Common workflow validation errors
Use this reference to identify and resolve validation findings that prevent you from publishing a workflow.
