What is run history?

Every time a workflow runs, Zite keeps a detailed log of what happened. You can see the inputs, outputs, and each step in between—making it easy to understand what’s working and debug what isn’t.
Logs are retained for 90 days.

Viewing run history

Open any workflow and click the History tab to see all past runs. Workflow run history Each run shows:
  • Status – Whether it succeeded or failed
  • ModeLive (production) or Preview (testing)
  • Time – When it ran
  • Duration – How long it took
Click any run to see the full details.

Understanding a run

When you open a run, you’ll see a step-by-step timeline of everything that happened: Run detail view
  • Input – The data that triggered the workflow
  • Database calls – Records that were read, created, or updated
  • External requests – API calls to other services
  • Output – The final result returned by the workflow
If something went wrong, you’ll see the error message and exactly where it failed.
Click any step to expand it and see the full input and output data.

Filtering runs

Use the filters at the top to find specific runs:
  • Mode – Show only Live or Preview runs
  • Status – Show only successful or failed runs
  • Time range – Last hour, 24 hours, 7 days, etc.
Click Clear all to reset the filters.

Replaying a run

Want to run a workflow again with the same inputs? Click Replay from the run detail view. This creates a new run with identical input data—useful for testing a fix or reproducing an issue.

Debugging with AI

If something isn’t working, ask Zite for help. The AI can read your workflow logs to identify what went wrong. Try prompts like:
  • “Why is my workflow failing?”
  • “What’s causing the error in my getOrders workflow?”
  • “Help me debug this endpoint”
When Zite requests access to your logs, you can:
  • Allow once – Share logs for this request only
  • Allow always – Let Zite read logs anytime (you can change this in settings)
  • Skip – Don’t share logs
