 For domain registrars and provisioning modules, the '''Activity Log''' at '''Configuration (<i class="fa fa-wrench" aria-hidden="true"></i>) > [[System Logs]]''' or, prior to WHMCS 8.0, '''Utilities > Logs''' will record success or failure of the associated automation actions. This log also records details from the invoice's payment, like the addition of the transaction.

 ==Testing Modules==
-WHMCS shipped registrar and gateway modules come with, where possible, a test mode or the ability to use a test environment that can be utilised to test transactions and domain orders. Referring to our documentation for the module being used will detail how test mode can be enabled. For example, with the eNom registrar module, this is detailed here: https://docs.whmcs.com/Enom#Test_Mode

-[[File:disable-emails.png|200px|thumb|right|Disable Email Toggle]] When testing, it is desirable in most cases (unless the test is specific to receiving emails) to prevent WHMCS from sending emails. To achieve this, navigate to '''Configuration (<i class="fa fa-wrench" aria-hidden="true"></i>) > System Settings > Mail tab''' and toggle the  Disable Email Sending option to "On".

-When testing provisioning modules, there is no test mode required. It is however advisable that all actions be reversed, as not only does this tidy things up, it tests that action as well. An example of this would be provisioning a cPanel account on a remote server, then using the Terminate module command button to remove it.
