Better debugging/preview for HTTP requests
yoyowu
Trying to build some automations with taskade, but I need to trial and error so many times before getting something to work.
Sometimes JSON body works, but other-times it doesn't, and the "COPY DATA" from the "RUNS" tab isn't that helpful as the json format is very friendly in identifying what the issue.
Also, if possible, please return the response from http requests which would also help with debugging.

Really valid frustration — trial-and-error with automation HTTP requests is painful when the error feedback is minimal. The RUNS tab giving unhelpful JSON is something we've heard before. v6.100.0 improved general automation error handling, but dedicated HTTP request debugging with formatted JSON previews, request/response inspection, and clear error messages isn't in place yet.
We're working on making automations more transparent overall. Being able to see exactly what was sent and received would save so much time.

Almost like "test each step" (as we touched on on the Facebook Group)
something like the attached (which is from ActivePieces)

Hey there! Are you looking to essentially send a test request using dummy parameters? What's a good example of an implementation you've seen for this request?
