By now, I’ve built enough Flows to know: when something breaks, it’s rarely where you think it is.
Over time, I’ve built a solid process for debugging Flows efficiently:
Start with Debug Logs if the Flow is Record-Triggered—search for the Flow name and trace the path
In Flow Builder, use the Debug with Inputs tool with realistic values
Log values at key points using Assignment elements (great for sandbox testing)
I also maintain a habit of writing clear, consistent element names, which makes tracing logic easier—especially in complex flows with loops, decisions, and subflows.
Debugging isn’t glamorous, but mastering it has saved me hours. It’s one of the best skills an admin/developer hybrid can sharpen.
