Scenario Debugging: "Run this module only" with real data
Jess Olsen
When developing new scenarios it's a pain to deal with testing/dev data.
Fx. I get a webhook as a trigger for the scanerio and I have a bunch of modules in the scenario, that all use data from the webhook. Why can't I use the data from the webhook when running a single module? Faking data can often cause production error, because the data wasn't real.
If I have already run a module and need the output in following module, why can't I use the output from that first module, when running the second module only?

This is a great idea, in Power Automate you can rerun very easily if you have an error, make the corrections and then want to re-test on live data.

In n8n there is something called "data pinning", and it's incredibly simple and effective. Something like this is really needed in Make.com

They should implement this. Yes... it's really necessary... they haven't done it yet.
Daniel Gonzalez
Any news on this? This feature is really needed. 1 year! And right now I'm in pain building some complex scenarios because of this
Benjamin Abitan
Yes, absolutely. At the very least, if the scenario has already been run before, the values from the previous run should be available by default (as they are partly in the variable selector).

Hey Jess Olsen
We use variables, JSON and Data Store modules to house testing data during dev. Is it possible one of those could solve your pain point? Fx testing webhook data, we pull into a Data Store once, then for duration of dev we use that data store for running...might not be what you're looking for though.

I spent all day creating a complex scenario, migrating from Zapier, but this is a show stopper for me. I love Integromat, but this is a big blocker for me from making the switch.
Andrew Forte
Very very much struggling with this.

For me it would be great to be able to reuse hisoric data to test either the entire or parts of the scenario. The data is available anyway. I am using up a lot of quota both in integromat as well as in Jotform (my trigger) and it is super tiring to always have to refill the form with the same data just to see if the scenario now works as expected.

Sergio Fandila: it's really unbelievable and absurd they don't offer this, so much time spend filling forms, had to upgrade both Integromat and jotform and finally gave up on integromat. It feels like it's stuck in 1999.

Rez: I have found a workaround that helps a bit. I clone the modules I am currently testing, hook them up with a parse JSON module in the beginning and insert the output from Jotform (or any other source) in JSON format into that first trigger. Then redo the mapping inside the cloned modules (For faster remapping use DevTool, although it doesn't work 100% reliably) and set the parse module as trigger. Like this you can test each specific part with the same data without having to trigger a webhook externally.
