Problem: Retesting entire workflows from scratch during development is time-consuming and wastes credits, especially when only later steps are being modified. If a later step in the workflow needs adjustment or encounters an error, the entire workflow often needs to be re-run from the beginning.
Proposed Solution: Implement a "Cache and Resume" feature in the workflow builder. Allow users to save the output of successfully run steps and resume testing from any specific point, using the cached data for preceding steps.
This could manifest as:
A "Run from this step" option in the context menu of each action block.
A toggle to "Use cached outputs from previous run" when initiating a test.
Visual indicators on steps that have successfully executed and whose output is cached.
An option to "Clear cache" for a specific step or the entire workflow if a fresh run is needed.
Or just cached data for initial steps by default within the platform.
Key Benefits:
Save Credits: Avoids re-running already validated (and often costly) initial steps like LLM calls or API interactions.
Faster Iteration: Drastically speeds up debugging and refinement by focusing tests only on modified or subsequent steps.
Better UX: Reduces frustration and makes building complex workflows more efficient.
Encourages Deeper Use: Makes users more willing to build and test sophisticated automations.
