Get instant Slack alerts when an automated process fails

Watches your automated processes for failures and immediately logs and alerts you in Slack with a suggested fix.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Every path runs; a person is alerted when a step fails.

The problem it solves

When an automated process breaks quietly, you often do not find out until someone complains or a report never shows up. Digging through logs after the fact to figure out what went wrong wastes time you do not have.

Who it fits

An operations team, agency, or business running several automated processes that needs to know the moment one breaks.

How it works

  1. The automation checks for failures every minute
  2. Each failure is classified by type and given a severity level
  3. A suggested fix is generated for the specific error
  4. The failure is logged to a spreadsheet with full details
  5. A color-coded alert is sent to Slack with the error and a link to investigate
What you get

Process failures caught before they pile up

You get an instant, color-coded Slack alert with a suggested fix the moment one of your automated processes fails.

What you get

A running error log in a spreadsheet and an instant Slack alert for every failure, with a suggested fix.

What you need

A Google Sheets account and a Slack account with a channel for alerts.

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.
