The Try API feature in Cobalt allows users to simulate event or workflow execution, providing a convenient way to test workflows and validate the behavior of associated actions.
The Try API feature can be utilized in both Production and Test environments.
Events selected through the Try API interface can serve as triggers within workflows. The payload associated with the selected event is loaded by default within the Try API interface and users can make necessary modifications to it before firing the event.
Using Try API, you can simulate execution for workflows with Event based triggers or Workflows API triggers.
