About the Extension
Narrow down Flow Builder and mail issues faster
Automation Inspector makes Shopware automations observable when a flow does not behave as expected. The plugin shows observed Flow Builder executions, status, timestamp, event, flow reference, IF/rule branches, action sequences and native Flow mail actions in the Administration.
This turns an unclear issue into a concrete diagnostic path: Was the event triggered? Which flow was involved? Which IF rule or branch became visible? Was a native mail action prepared? What should be checked next?
Typical use cases
- An order, customer or status mail was expected but did not arrive.
- A flow was triggered, but the expected action does not seem to run.
- IF rules and Rule Builder references need faster narrowing down.
- An agency, developer or support team needs a reproducible technical trail.
- Old diagnostic traces should be stored only for a bounded time and cleaned up afterwards.
What the Administration shows
- Metrics for retained traces, successful executions, errors and mail actions.
- Newest traces first, with search by event, flow or order id.
- Status filter for all, successful or failed traces.
- Detail view with observed sequence path, IF/rule hints and mail actions.
- Concrete next checks for each trace.
- Copyable support report and delete action for individual traces.
Technical value
- Flow tracing through Shopware's FlowExecutor extension point.
- Mail action tracing through native FlowSendMailActionEvent diagnostics.
- CLI self-test, CLI export and CLI cleanup for developers and agencies.
- Retention and cleanup via configuration, Administration, CLI and scheduled task.
Privacy-aware diagnostics
Recording is disabled by default and can be enabled for a controlled diagnostic window. Diagnostic metadata stays locally in the Shopware database. Raw payloads, complete mail contents, mail subjects, raw recipient lists, tokens, API keys and passwords are not stored. There is no telemetry and no external data transfer.
Boundaries
Automation Inspector does not replace SMTP or provider logs and does not confirm final mail delivery. The plugin provides the observed Flow/mail action trail and concrete next checks. It is not legal advice, not a compliance guarantee and not an automatic flow repair tool.
