# Script testing

Before running the script for users, it is worth testing it for yourself. 

We advise you to first enable the output of debug messages in the project settings in order to see exactly what actions the bot performs.

Now we need to go to the script that we will test.&#x20;

Hover over the block you want to start testing from. An indicator with three dots will appear on the right.

When you hover over this indicator, a context menu will appear, where you will see the item "Test"

Click on this item, and a list of your channels associated with the scenario will appear on the side.&#x20;

It remains only to click on the "Start" button.&#x20;

The bot will send messages to the specified channel.

You can test the scenario both from the very beginning and from any block :thumbsup:
