# Workflow and scheduled-task problems

Test a workflow manually, then verify its trigger, timezone, input, account, and first failed step before editing the schedule.

1. Confirm the workflow or scheduled task is enabled and points to the intended agent or crew.
2. Read the timezone, cadence, next run, and trigger data exactly as saved.
3. Check required plugins, channels, browser mode, and device availability.
4. Run the workflow once with a bounded test input.
5. Inspect the earliest failed or waiting step, including any approval request.

An unattended run cannot answer an interactive approval that its policy still requires. Avoid widening the entire workflow to Full Access; grant only the capability or connection needed by the failing step.

**Expected result:** the manual run completes, and the next scheduled execution shows the intended time and destination.
