Test locally first. The workflow playground lets you validate logic without running the full API stack.

​
Local Testing Setup

Use pre-defined test events in requests/events and the playground script at playground/workflow_playground.py to execute workflows directly.

​
Running a Test

To test your workflow locally, use the following simple pattern: 
event = EventFactory.create_event(event_key="product")
workflow = CustomerCareWorkflow()
result = workflow.run(event)
The event_key parameter corresponds to a JSON file name in the requests/events directory. For example, event_key="product" loads requests/events/product.json.

​
Benefits of Local Testing

​
Immediate Feedback

You see results instantly without waiting for async processing or checking databases.

​
Easy Debugging

Add breakpoints and step through your workflow logic in your IDE.

​
No Dependencies

You can test without running Docker containers, Celery workers, or databases.

​
Rapid Iteration

Modify and test workflow logic quickly without restarting services.

​
Creating Custom Test Events

To add your own test events:
1

Create JSON file

Add a new JSON file to requests/events/ with your test data
2

Match schema

Ensure the JSON structure matches your event schema exactly
3

Reference by name

Use the filename (without .json) as the event_key in EventFactory
