Hi Jackie,
Thank you for the detailed response, we also use participant data and milestones for logs in architect call flows (inbound and in-queue), but you give me a good idea to combine them. Just wanted to clarify, when you add to participant data key-value pair like "Further.CustomerJourney038" - "ExitType=transferred", you set the participant data value hard-coded, or there is an option to choose an existing milestone as a variable for the participant data value?
However my original question was about Architect Workflow:

For workflows there is no option to set participant data, milestones or add audio prompts.
The only way I found to debug a workflow, is to create common module with the workflow logic, test it using participant data in dummy inbound flow, then remove all participant data from it, and call this common module from the workflow. But this is time-consuming, complicated and not good for complex workflows, so I would like to find another way to debug workflows. Do you have any idea?
Thanks,

Hi Irina,
You'll need to set your own participant data milestones/logging. These logging points will be written to the conversation details. If you want to play prompts when you get to a certain point, you can do that, but I think writing a participant data milestone is quicker and easier, as there are no prompts to record, configure, load. We have participant data points with a incremental sequence number through our entire flow. They mark the path the caller took, like a trail of bread crumbs. We also use the participant data milestones for our statistical reporting, i.e. how many callers self serviced, which menu options did they select, how did the caller authenticate, etc... If you put the time and smarts into designing the participant data milestones within the flow, you'll have an excellent way to debug and provide very gradual statistics on the flow performance and caller behavior.
Here is an example of what our journey milestones look like, once extracted to Excel and sorted. We design this right with in our Visio call flow diagram; the flow and milestones go hand in hand.

Hello Community,
does anybody know how to debug Architect workflow? There is no option to set participant data, there is no debug option (only publish), there is no prompts, that can be added to different cases. My workflow does not work properly and I have no idea how to test it.
Thanks,
