Catch automations that silently stop running on schedule

Watches all your scheduled automations and flags any that stop firing before anyone notices something's wrong.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Exactly one path is taken; runs once per one per scheduled automation.

The problem it solves

An automation can quietly stop running because a schedule got disabled or a trigger broke, and nothing tells you. You only find out when a report never showed up or a customer says something didn't happen.

Who it fits

Operations teams running several scheduled automations who need to know when one goes silent, not just when one errors out.

How it works

  1. Runs once a day
  2. Finds every active scheduled automation automatically
  3. Works out how often each one is supposed to run
  4. Checks the last time each one actually ran
  5. Flags any that are overdue so an alert can go out
What you get

Silent automation failures caught before anyone notices

Every scheduled automation gets checked daily, and anything that goes quiet without erroring out gets flagged right away.

What you get

A list of any scheduled automations that have gone silent, ready to trigger an alert.

What you need

Administrator access to your automation platform, plus a way to send alerts such as Slack.

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.
