The problem it solves

When several people manage the same automated processes, someone occasionally switches one off by accident, and nobody notices until something stops working. By the time you catch it, you may have already missed data or a customer interaction.

Who it fits

A business running several critical automations that more than one person can access and control.

How it works

  1. Every few hours, the system checks your list of protected automations
  2. It flags any that are marked as critical but currently switched off
  3. It automatically switches those back on
What you get

Critical automations that never stay off by accident

You get your most important automations checked around the clock and switched back on the moment anyone turns them off.

What you get

Your critical automations stay running, with no manual checking required.

What you need

The automation platform account where your workflows are hosted.

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.
