💡 Automation Hack of the Week

Testing without Triggering: Streamline Your Automation Development

Tired of manually triggering your automation workflows every time you need to test them? Here's a time-saving hack for Make and n8n users:

1. Copy the output bundle from your trigger module.

2. Create a variable with this information.

3. Use this variable to manually trigger your automation during development.

Example in Make:

{
  "trigger": {
    "event": "new_order",
    "data": {
      "order_id": "12345",
      "customer_name": "John Doe",
      "total_amount": 99.99
    }
  }
}

Store this JSON in a variable, then use it to initialize your workflow without waiting for actual trigger events.

Benefits:

• Faster development cycles

• Consistent test data

• Easier debugging of complex workflows

Try it: Next time you're building a workflow, use this method to test your logic without repeatedly performing the trigger action.
