Utility & web · Step
Inspect a value
Write any value to the run log with what kind it is and what's inside, to see what a wire really holds.
debug.inspect
In a flow
“When a button is clicked, inspect a value.”
Read JSON → Inspect a value → (open the run log).
What it does
Write any value to the run log with what kind it is and what's inside, to see what a wire really holds. It's a step: it runs when the white wire reaches it, then the flow carries on from its Then pin. It gives 3 values later steps can use. Find it under Utility & web in the palette.
When to use it
Use it for odds and ends: write any value to the run log with what kind it is and what's inside, to see what a wire really holds.
When not to
If nothing should change in Discord, a value node or a check is lighter.
