Get instant email alerts when an automation breaks

Sends you a detailed email the moment any of your automated processes fails, so problems get fixed fast.

How the work actually flows

A straight line. Runs once per each automated process; a person is alerted when a step fails.

The problem it solves

When an automated process quietly breaks, you might not find out until a customer complains or a report never shows up. Checking every process by hand to catch failures eats into your day and things still slip through.

Who it fits

Any business that relies on several automated processes running in the background.

How it works

  1. A process fails or breaks partway through
  2. The system automatically catches the error
  3. It gathers the error details and what went wrong
  4. An email is sent to you with the full explanation
  5. A recurring check makes sure every process has this safety net turned on
What you get

Automation failures you hear about within minutes

You get an email the moment one of your automated processes breaks, so you can jump in and fix it fast.

What you get

A detailed email alert every time an automated process fails, plus ongoing coverage across all your processes.

What you need

A Gmail account, since alerts are sent through it.

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.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
