Get notified automatically whenever any automation fails

Every night, this quietly attaches an error alert to all your automations so failures reach your inbox instead of going unnoticed.

How the work actually flows

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

The problem it solves

When an automation fails silently, you might not find out for days or weeks, by which time the damage is already done. Checking every workflow by hand to confirm it has an alert set up is tedious and easy to forget as you add more automations. You want to know the moment something breaks, not long after.

Who it fits

Business owners or operators running several automations who want peace of mind.

How it works

  1. The check runs automatically every night
  2. Every active automation is scanned
  3. Any automation missing an error alert gets one attached
  4. From then on, a failure sends you an email notification
What you get

Automation failures you hear about right away

Every automation you run gets a built-in error alert, so a failure reaches your inbox right away instead of going unnoticed for days.

What you get

Every automation covered by an error alert, and an email the moment one of them fails.

What you need

A Gmail account for notifications and an account on your automation platform with API access.

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.
