Modes

Every automation environment operates in one of two modes:
ModeEditingExecutionSecrets & Databases
TestFull editing enabledTest runs onlyTest-scoped
LiveRead-onlyProduction runsLive-scoped
Use the mode toggle in the sidebar to switch between test and live.

Building in Test Mode

Test mode is your development environment. All editing happens here:
  • Create and configure composers, steps, and connections
  • Manage test secrets and databases
  • Run test executions to verify behavior
  • Review step-by-step logs and outputs

Running a Test

You can run a test execution in two ways:
  1. From the Composer — click the play button next to your composer in the sidebar
  2. From the Canvas — click the Run button in the canvas header
Test runs use test-scoped secrets and databases, keeping your production data safe.

Deploying to Live

When your workflow is ready for production, deploy it from test mode to live.
1

Open the Deployment Dialog

Click the Deploy button while in test mode.
2

Review What Gets Promoted

The dialog shows what will be promoted: steps, connectors, and their configurations.
3

Select Secrets and Databases

Use the checkboxes to choose which test secrets and databases should be copied to the live environment.
4

Confirm Deployment

Click Deploy to promote your test configuration to live.

Versioning

Automations track versions at two levels:

Revisions (Edit History)

While you edit an automation in test mode, revisions are saved automatically in the background. Each revision is a snapshot of the automation’s steps, connectors, and trigger configuration at a point in time.
  • View revisions from the history icon in the canvas header
  • Click a revision to preview that version on the canvas
  • Click Restore to roll back to a previous revision — a backup of the current state is saved first
Revisions let you safely experiment and undo changes without losing work.

Deployments (Test to Live)

Each deployment creates a snapshot of your test configuration and promotes it to the live environment. Live mode always reflects the most recent deployment — there is no way to edit live directly. If you need to roll back a live deployment, restore a previous revision in test mode and re-deploy.

Editing After Deployment

To make changes to a deployed workflow:
  1. Switch to test mode using the sidebar toggle
  2. Make your modifications
  3. Test again to verify
  4. Re-deploy to promote the updated configuration to live
Changes made in test mode do not affect the live workflow until you deploy again. Live mode always reflects the last deployment.

Secrets

Secrets are scoped per mode and copied during deployment.

Databases

Databases are scoped per mode and copied during deployment.
