Debugging a flow

Contact center admins can debug a flow in order to test the flow and troubleshooting errors, like customers not connecting. While a flow is in a debug status, you can start a test engagement so the debug tool can generate a log of events. For example, if you're debugging a voice flow, place a call to the voice flow's entry point (phone number). The debug log will show events like when the call was started, how the call was routed, and any inputs entered by the caller.
