Write a message to the run log in RunMacro

The Log Message command prints a line to the log window at run time, with a level (info, warning, error).

Prerequisites#

  • Add Log Message to the macro.
  • Prepare the data or target that Log Message will use.

Supported modes#

  • RunMacro Runner

What it does#

The Log Message command prints a line to the log window at run time, with a level (info, warning, error). It supports variables to show current values — great for monitoring and debugging.

Screenshots & video#

When to use it#

  • Mark progress ("Start processing account...").
  • Show a variable value for inspection.
  • Note checkpoints while debugging a workflow.

When not to use it#

  • Do not use it for secrets or machine-readable/rotated records; use a dedicated output.

Configuration steps#

  1. Add a File › Log Message command.
  2. Enter the message (variables {...} allowed).
  3. Choose the level: info / warning / error. Save.

Every option explained#

Message#

The line to write to the log; variables supported to print values.

Level#

The level label (info/warning/error) shown at the start of the log line.

Expected result#

After execution, Log Message completes the described action and makes its result available to the next step.

Real example#

Example: print the current loop number#

  1. Log Message "Processing account: {email}".
  2. Watch the log to follow progress.

Limitations and failure cases#

  • Missing substitutions can become empty; path permissions and log growth affect long-running results.

Tips & common mistakes#

Sprinkle Log Message at key steps to debug faster when a workflow misbehaves.
