Try API

​

Description:

The Try API feature in Cobalt allows users to simulate event execution, providing a convenient way to test workflows and validate the behavior of associated actions. By firing events from the Try API interface, users can verify the correctness and responsiveness of their workflows, ensuring seamless integration and execution within the Cobalt platform.

The Try API feature can be utilized in both Production and Test environments, providing flexibility for testing and validation purposes.

Events selected through the Try API interface can serve as triggers within workflows, enabling comprehensive testing of workflow execution and automation logic. The payload associated with the selected event is automatically loaded within the Try API interface, allowing users to make necessary modifications before firing the event.This feature empowers developers to customize event payloads on the fly, ensuring flexibility and adaptability in testing scenarios.
