Get notified straight away when an automation fails

Choose members who get a notification when any run fails, with a direct link to the failed run. The limit is one notification every 15 minutes per automation, then a summary.

Steps

1
Open the automation and press Settings.
2
Under When a run fails, tell…, choose the members who get the failure notification.
3
Wait for All changes saved, or press Publish if the automation is on.

How it works

The first failure is reported straight away and opens a 15-minute window. Failures inside it are counted, not reported.

The first failure after the window is reported with “N other runs failed within 15 minutes after the previous notification”.

If no later failure happens, no summary of the counted failures arrives.

An “uncertain” run counts as a failure and is reported.

Who is notified is set by the version of the automation the run ran on.

A member who has left isn’t notified.

The notification text shows in English for now.

A real example

Shield Security Co.
The situation

A WhatsApp line was disconnected for two days without anyone noticing.

What they did
  1. Failure notifications for the owner and the operations manager on every sending automation.
The result

The team knows within minutes when any line goes down.

A made-up company, to show the idea. The numbers are rounded.

Good to know

Up to 20 members.
One notification every 15 minutes per automation and per member.
