The problem it solves

When an automation quietly fails in the background, you might not find out until a customer complains or a report never arrives. Checking every automation's execution history by hand isn't realistic when you're relying on it to save you time.

Who it fits

Business owners or operators relying on automations who need to know immediately when one breaks.

How it works

  1. One of your automations fails to complete
  2. The system captures which automation failed and builds a message with the details
  3. It includes a direct link to the failed run so you can see exactly what happened
  4. You receive the alert as a direct message on Slack
What you get

Broken automations you hear about immediately

You get a direct Slack message the instant one of your automations fails, with a link straight to the error so you can act fast.

What you get

A direct Slack message naming the failed automation with a link to its error log.

What you need

A Slack account with a bot or app connected.

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.
