# Debug n8n workflows with interactive Slack breakpoints
This template helps n8n developers and automation engineers debug complex workflows using interactive Slack notifications. Instead of relying on logs or manual state checks, the automation can pause at critical steps — awaiting user confirmation directly in Slack.
## Who it´s for
- n8n developers lacking a built-in debugger with breakpoints.
- Automation engineers using Slack as a monitoring and control hub.
- n8n administrators managing multi-step workflows with critical conditions.
## What the automation does
- Starts manually upon user command.
- Generates 10 test email addresses for loop processing.
- Checks the current iteration index on each cycle.
- On the 4th step, triggers a condition sending an interactive message to Slack.
- Waits for user confirmation before resuming execution.
## What´s included
- Ready-to-use n8n workflow.
- Logic for conditional branching and iteration tracking.
- Integration with Slack API for message sending and response handling.
- Basic text instructions for setup and adaptation.
## Requirements for setup
- n8n account with editor access.
- Slack workspace with permissions to create bots and configure webhooks.
- Slack credentials (API token or OAuth) for connecting to n8n.
## Benefits and outcomes
- Simplified debugging without external tools.
- Control over execution at critical points.
- Interactive approval instead of blind runs.
- Reduced risk of errors during testing.
- Convenient use of Slack as a UI for workflow management.
