Introduction
Once a continuous decision is created, you can upload it to the server and test in Workbench. The following steps will show how to successfully deploy and test a continuous decision in workbench.

Once you make the initial request for a continuous decision, it goes to a waiting stage. After that, if there is any human interaction or receive task option, you can resume whenever it is necessary.
The Initial Request

Or if there is no input, you can keep it empty with [ ].
- Click on Run.
- If both Authentication and Execution are successful, you will see the output as a success under the ‘Results’ tab.
Resume the Continuous Decision
- If you see a receivers tag in the Execution section after the test run, that indicates that the workflow is waiting for human interaction.
- If so, copy the workflowInstanceId and title.
- And title of reciever to be used, as well as it’s outcome name if there is one
- Select the info tab of the test run screen

In this example, it is a single outcome for the task (CTA Activated (Display offer in Home tile)).

In the actions column you can view the continuous decision’s history, or delete it.
