We have several automations running, e.g. adding products to deals, updating person/org owners, adding values to custom fields etc, however I can't see which records the workflow automations have run against, there is nothing logged in the Deal/Person/Org records either.  Are there any logs where we can view this information, like Zapier has with their task history for zaps?

    Hi @Harj Gadhvi 

    Good suggestion! I believe our team has thought about this before, I'll pass it on to them and hopefully this is in the near term plans!

    Hi, @Mike van der Valk, this sounds like a great suggestion.

    I have many clients scratching their heads and wondering why their workflow automation is not working. I usually go over their setting to figure out what the problem was, which was sometimes tedious and cumbersome. This debugging process will become much easier once Pipedrive users can see their automation logs.

    Hi,

    If it helps, I added "artificial logs" in my workflows

    I create a "debug log" long text field in the items (Person, Deal, etc.) the workflow applies on.

    For every workflow I add a little message describing what the workflow does (actually its name).

    It is far to be perfect, but it helps to find out what happens
