Show a notification

Add Desktop Notification after Set Data. Enter sndbox for Title and map or paste My first workflow completed. into Message.

6

Inspect the execution

Open the execution drawer or Run history. Select each node to review its resolved input, output, logs, duration, and retry count.
The workflow row now shows its latest successful run, and the execution inspector contains one successful entry for each of the three nodes.
