Steps to Test the Workflow

Log into Rewst and open the "Add or Remove User - Microsoft Group" workflow.

Step 1: Access the Form for Testing

One way to access your form is by selecting the "cog" icon in the workflow trigger settings. From there, select "View Direct URLs" and open the link to the form.

Step 2: Submit the Form

Note: Test something you're comfortable doing!

For example, try adding (or removing) yourself to (or from) a group. This way, if the automation works, you can repeat the test to change your group membership back to what it needs to be.

1. Select a user.

2. Select a group.

3. Select the action.

4. Submit the form to trigger the workflow.

Step 3: Check the Workflow Execution Results

After submitting the form, switch to the workflow tab.

1. Select the "graph" icon at the top to view the workflow results.

2. Each workflow execution will show a status (succeeded or failed), the number of successful tasks, a timestamp, and more details.

3. Investigate the workflow status; select the status to access more details.

If the workflow failed: Click into the failed status to find the action where it failed. Review the error data to understand what went wrong. Common issues might include integration problems or typos in the Jinja code.

If the workflow succeeded: Congratulations! You’ve successfully completed your first "Update Group Membership" automation.

⭐ Alternatively, you can go to the "Results" tab under "Automations" to see all workflow results, and find the row that corresponds to your"Add or Remove User - Microsoft Group" workflow.

Action Items

• Test your workflow by submitting the form and reviewing the results to ensure it triggers and performs the actions correctly.
