Make sure every one of your automations has error alerts

Checks all of your automated workflows on a schedule and turns on error alerts for any that are missing them.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Exactly one path is taken; runs once per each automated workflow.

The problem it solves

It's easy to build a new automation and forget to turn on failure alerts for it, which means a broken process can run silently for weeks. Checking every single automation by hand to confirm this is tedious and easy to skip.

Who it fits

A business owner or operations lead who manages many automated processes and wants a consistent safety net.

How it works

  1. Every few hours, the system checks all of your automated workflows
  2. Any workflow missing an error alert is automatically corrected
  3. Workflows marked as excluded are skipped, so there's no risk of alert loops
What you get

Automations that never fail silently

Every one of your automated workflows gets checked regularly and fitted with error alerts so nothing fails silently.

What you get

A consistent set of error alerts applied across every one of your automated workflows.

What you need

A database connection to your automation platform's internal records.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
