Flow monitoring

The problem

Automations are running and nobody knows which ones, or whether they still work. The failure is discovered when a customer calls or a month-end does not add up.

What I do

I inventory every flow, add logging and alerts to each, and write a one-page procedure per alert type: what it means, who acts, how. One-off set-up, no subscription: the alerts run in your own accounts.

Volumes per hour and an alert threshold: when a flow stops producing, the alert goes out before opening time, not when a customer calls.

Real examples

• 

  Thirty Make and n8n scenarios inventoried; every failure sends a Slack alert with the flow name, the step and a link to rerun.

• Notion

  Daily consistency check between Shopify and Odoo stock; discrepancies are listed in a shared Notion database before opening time.

• Stripe

  Slack alert when a Stripe payment has no matching Pennylane invoice after 24 hours.

Questions about this service

Do I need a paid monitoring tool?

Rarely. The logs of Make, n8n or Zapier, a Slack alert and a dashboard in Notion cover most cases. If a paid tool is useful, it is proposed with its cost.

Who reads the alerts?

Whoever you name in the procedure. The point is that a named person knows what to do, not that a screen turns red.

Can you be the one on call?

Not around the clock. I can review the monthly summary with you and fix what needs fixing on quotation.
