Find a step in a long automation: the steps list and its search

2 min readFor adminsVerified 24 Oct 2026

So that in an automation of fifty steps you can go straight to the one that says “pincode”, or the one that still needs filling.

1Read the list

The list shows every step in the order it runs. A numbered step (1); a branch’s steps lettered A1, A2 (2); a step that still needs something says so in amber (3). Click a row to open that step.

Type in Search steps and messages (1) — or press /. Steps whose name or words match are listed, with where the words are (2). The arrow on the list’s edge (3) folds the list away.

Common questions

Nothing matches — what now?

The list says so and offers Clear the search. Try fewer words, or part of a word.

Where is the list on a phone?

Under 820 px wide the canvas takes the whole screen: use + Add a step at the bottom left, and tap a card to open it.

Why does the list count fewer steps than my automation has?

A Branch drawn inside its question’s card and a Go back chip have no row of their own. They are still in the automation, and every save keeps them. Search their words and the list shows the question that holds them.
