Best practices for testing Action code

Sep 10, 2025

Overview

We are currently using Actions and Auth Flows to annnotate our enterprise connections.
We would like to understand if there is any best practice for how to develop and test our actions and auth flows before they are used for out production applications? Currently, we do not see a way of have in a flow/action that is 'in development' vs a flow/action that is production ready.

Solution

For best practices for testing Action code in lower environments before promoting to production, we recommend setting up separate tenants for dev, stage, and prod so they can be isolated from each other. Our doc here goes into this further:

To handle changes between these environments we offer the Deploy CLI or Terraform provider which you can integrate with your existing CI/CD workflow. More on that can be found here:
