Logs let you verify an automation’s execution and understand its behavior step by step, so you can fix errors in your automation scenario.
Go to your table’s Automations. You have two ways to open the logs:
-
-
In the automations list window → Click the
(Show logs) icon to the right of the target automation.
-
In the automation detail → click →
then →
-
In the automations list window → Click the
At the top of the logs window, several options help you explore executions efficiently:
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| 🔎 Search a log | Search by row name (e.g., “test”, “example”). |
| ⌄ All types | Filter by execution type (success, failure, no action). |
| 📅 All dates | Filter by execution date. |
| ⚠️ Quick error filter | Show only failures. |
| 🔢 Total logs | Shown at top-right; useful to gauge volume. |
ℹ️ Each log row shows: 1️⃣ Status of the run. 2️⃣ Date & time the scenario was triggered. 3️⃣ Descriptive state of the action performed. 4️⃣ Icon 5️⃣ Icon
→ Each log also shows the sequence of visual blocks: |
| Overall status | Icon color | Details / Example |
|---|---|---|
|
|
|
Trigger block
green
(actually triggered). Condition block green if met, otherwise grey. Action block green (executed). Everything ran successfully. |
|
|
|
Grey
blocks (no trigger or conditions not met). Grey action blocks (nothing executed). The automation was evaluated but nothing ran. |
|
ℹ️ If no log is available, your automation hasn’t been executed yet. |

🎥 Examples of log status rendering:
Success
No action executed
| Overall status | Icon | Details / Example |
|---|---|---|
|
+ Warning |
|
If a “Call API” action had an error, all other icons (conditions
met)
are green,
and the Call API icon is ⚠️
orange(warning on that action). Example: API error, code 403 or other non-blocking issue |
|
|
|
If at least one action ran, all icons (trigger, conditions, actions) are orange. |
|
|
|
If none of the actions could be completed, all icons (trigger, conditions, actions) are red. |
|
|
|
If the trigger received a call but data didn’t match expectations,
the trigger icon is
red
and the other icons are
grey
(not evaluated). Example: system error, missing data |
|
ℹ️ If no log is available, your automation hasn’t been executed yet. |

📌 Key takeaways
- A green trigger doesn’t guarantee an action ran.
- Greyed blocks are skipped because conditions weren’t met.
- Orange blocks indicate a failed call despite conditions being met.
- Red blocks mean an automation-level failure (e.g., trigger got unexpected data, action would create a duplicate, etc.).
🎥 Example renderings:
Success + Warning
Trigger & conditions succeeded, but the action has a ⚠️ warning.
Failure
(example: webhook trigger execution failed)
When you hover the trigger, condition(s), or action(s) icon in a block, a tooltip appears with a contextual summary of the configuration that led to the execution:
-
- Which condition was evaluated?
- Which value triggered the run?
- Which API endpoint was called and with what payload?
- Which error caused the failure?
Tooltip for a condition. |
Tooltip for a write field action. |
When an error occurs, click the log to read the HTTP status code, the sent payload, and the response message.
Example from the screenshot above:
Request status code: 404 Authentication type: Use Bearer token Payload: test call: ""
✅ Best practices
- Always hover icons to verify values and applied logic.
- Use the error filter to quickly diagnose problematic automations.
- Use row-name search to locate a test or a client case.
Go to a record
