Once a Composer Flow has been activated, on the Flow Detail Page, you’ll be able to see whether each Composer Flow execution has succeeded or failed.  While we do plan to expose more detailed error messages in the UI itself on the near term roadmap, there is a way to use browser developer tools to see more detailed error messages.

Check out this short video to see the steps.

In summary, if you’re using Chrome Browser, the steps were:

1. Go to the Flow Details Page for the flow that you're seeing FAILED executions.
2. Go to Developer->JavaScript Console
3. Go to the Network tab.
4. Reload the Flow Details Page.
5. In the list of Network calls, look for a call to 'executionsummaries'.
6. Go to the Preview subtab.
7. Each of the items in the Run History table show up as a separate row in Preview.
8. Expand them to see the detailed error messages.

When logging a Support case, if you add those detailed error messages to your case, it will help our Support team jumpstart the troubleshooting process.
