Workflows

Test a Workflow

Test submissions allow you to test your Workflow for free as a way to preview what your clients’ webform experience will be before they fill out their respective Workflows.

Test submissions are different from the test mode in the Workflow editor because they allow you to see exactly what your client will see from start to finish, including the final PDF output. Test mode in the Workflow editor is better for testing logic on individual fields and pages. Test submissions are always free and do not count toward completion limits on any Anvil pricing plans.

If your Workflow includes signatures, a sample signature page will be sent to the email entered in the test webform, but resulting signatures will not be valid.
