Implement "Run This Module Only" Functionality in Zoho Flow

Implement "Run This Module Only" Functionality in Zoho Flow

Dear Zoho Flow Support,

We are writing to request an enhancement to the workflow testing and debugging capabilities within Zoho Flow. Currently, the platform lacks the ability to isolate and test individual modules effectively, hindering workflow development and troubleshooting.


Summary: We propose the implementation of a "Run This Module Only" functionality within Zoho Flow. This feature would mirror the existing behavior found in platforms like Make.com, allowing users to temporarily isolate and execute a single module within a flow.

Current Limitations: Currently, Zoho Flow requires running the entire workflow to test or troubleshoot specific modules. This can be inefficient and time-consuming, especially for complex workflows.

Benefits of "Run This Module Only":

  • Enhanced Debugging: Enables isolated testing of individual modules to pinpoint errors or unexpected behavior.
  • Improved Efficiency: Allows users to quickly verify module functionality without triggering the entire workflow.
  • Streamlined Development: Facilitates faster iteration and development of complex workflows by allowing focused testing on specific modules.

Proposed Implementation:

  • Introduce a "Run This Module Only" option within the module context menu (right-click).
  • When selected, the option temporarily bypasses all downstream modules, executing only the designated module.
  • Provide clear outputs and error messages for the isolated module execution.

By implementing this functionality, Zoho Flow will significantly enhance the developer experience and improve the overall efficiency of workflow creation and maintenance.

We believe this feature would be a valuable addition to Zoho Flow and would significantly improve our workflow development process. Thank you for considering our request.
