Ctrl K

💬 Debug

Show a message at run time for debugging in RunMacro

What it does

The Show Message Box command prints a fixed line of text to the run log/console when execution reaches this step, so you can see how far the script got. Mainly for debugging. Note: the text is literal — the command does not substitute {...} variables with their values.

When to use it

Confirm the script reached a certain point.
Display a value/variable for a quick check.
Debug when a workflow does not behave as expected.

Configuration steps

Add a Debug › Show Message Box command.
Enter the fixed message text.
Save and run — the text is printed to the run log/console at that step.

Every option explained

Message

The fixed text printed to the log/console. It does not substitute {...} variables — use a Log Message command to inspect variable values.

Real example

Example: signal reaching the login step

Show Message Box "Reached the login step".
Run to confirm the flow is correct.

Tips & common mistakes

For persistent logs, use Log Message; the message box is best for quick checks.
