1. Set up logging: At the points in your workflows that you want to log, add the "Create a log" action. Please note: for client-side workflows, it's best to use "Create a log (client side)." For backend workflows, you'll need "Create a log (server side)."

   Configure the action as follows:

   • Message: This field specifies the message that will be sent with the log. You can use dynamic values here.

   • Log Type: This defines the type of log. In BetterStack, logs will be grouped by type to make it easier for you to find what you need.

   • Json Data: Here, you can specify a JSON object with parameters relevant to the log, such as a transaction ID where an error occurred. This provides more context for debugging.

   • Key Value Data: You can also specify important debugging parameters in a key:value format here.
