07. Playback

How to get there: open a scenario in the designer, then the playback action. Or from the 🤖 Scenarios tab on a phone.

Playback opens full screen and returns you where you were when you close it.

What it is

A scenario replayed as a chat window — bot messages on one side, expected replies on the other — instead of as a diagram.

Why use it

Reading a flow diagram tells you the structure. Reading a chat tells you how it will actually feel to the person receiving it. Playback is the fastest way to catch an awkward sentence, a missing greeting, or two messages that read oddly back-to-back, before any of it reaches a real person.

What it doesn’t do

It does not send anything and does not create a call. Placeholders show as placeholders; custom code is not run.

For a real test you need a real linked contact and an actual run.

Getting back to editing

There’s a button to jump straight into the designer for the scenario you’re reading.
