Verify workflow health in the workflow editor

Monitor your workflows from within the workflow editor.

Written by Jamie Gaynor

The monitor tab provides a real-time operational dashboard for your workflows. It acts as an at-a-glance hub where you can track execution history, verify step health, and monitor the status of your connectors.

When to use the monitor tab

The monitor tab is the best place to answer high-level questions about your workflow:

  • Is my workflow healthy right now? Use the execution graph and status badges to confirm performance.

  • Are my connections working? Check the connector status panel to identify authentication issues.

  • What's the traffic pattern? Analyze usage spikes or quiet periods using the execution graph.

How to access the monitor tab

  1. Open your desired workflow and ensure that no specific steps are selected.

  2. Click the monitor tab located in the workflow overview header.

Understanding the dashboard

The monitor tab is divided into three key sections designed to help you quickly assess workflow health.

Execution graph

This graph provides a time-series visualization of your workflow’s activity, helping you spot usage patterns.

  • Real-time stats: View the last run time, duration of the most recent completion, and a clear success or failure status.

  • Activity tracking: The graph plots your runs over time, distinguishing between production runs and solo (ephemeral/testing) runs so you can easily separate development activity from live traffic.

  • Live updates: The dashboard refreshes automatically, with a live pulse indicator to confirm the data is current.

Step status

Use this panel to see the overall health of the individual steps in your workflow.

  • Health categories: Quickly identify which steps are healthy, failing, running, or idle.

  • Interactive highlights: If a step is failing, you can hover over the status breakdown to immediately highlight the affected steps on your workflow map.

  • Fix failures button: When one or more steps in your workflow are failing, a Fix failures button appears in the step status panel. Selecting this button opens an autofix session for the failing steps.

Autofix analyzes the errors, proposes fixes, and creates a new branch with verified corrections. You can review the changes before pushing them live. Learn more about autofix here.

Connector status

This panel provides a breakdown of the health of the connectors in your workflow.

  • Connection health: See at a glance which connectors are working properly, failing, or still in draft mode.

  • Quick fixes: If a connection fails, you can click the connector logo to open the relevant details modal and address the issue directly.

Step tests

The tests panel shows the health of your workflow's step tests. A step test captures a successful run's input and expected output, then replays it after changes are made to a workflow, to verify the step still produces that output.

  • Status breakdown: See which tests are passing, failing, or have not been checked recently.

  • Add tests button: When your workflow has no step tests yet, an Add tests button appears. Selecting it prompts Tines 3B to create a step test.

  • Run tests button: Once tests exist, a Run tests button replaces the add button. Selecting it reruns all step tests to verify your workflow still behaves as expected. Tests run in isolated environments with replayed network requests, so they have no side effects even when the normal step would.

Step tests help you catch unintended changes before pushing a draft live.
