Automation that keeps running

Automations that keep working, month after month.

Automations break quietly when an app changes or a form is edited. Yours are checked every day, problems are caught early and fixed fast, and the steps that cause the most friction get better each month.

Today Example, not live. Today: a paper checklist with one item crossed out and phone reminders that were snoozed or missed. Routine steps are repeated by hand, every day.
With this system Example, not live. With this system: a daily check screen where every automatic job is ticked and one problem was fixed. The routine steps run themselves and flag exceptions.

Example, not live: every name and number is invented.

Watch a problem get caught

A daily check spots a broken step, the fix is tested before it goes live, and you are told what happened.

Daily health check Every morning three of your automations are checked. Two get a tick. One is marked in amber as Caught, then fixed. You get a message saying all is fine and one thing was fixed.

What you get

Automations you can rely on

  1. Daily checks

    Failures are caught as they happen, not when a customer complains.

  2. Fast fixes

    Problems are fixed as soon as they are caught, and you are told what happened.

  3. Notes anyone can read

    Every automation is written up in plain language, so nothing depends on one person.

  4. A monthly summary

    A short report shows what ran, what broke and what was improved.

  5. Small improvements each month

    The steps that cause your team the most friction are tidied first.

  6. One person to ask

    Message me when something changes in your business and I adjust it.

Is it for you

Is this for you?

Not a fit if you have no automations yet. Building the first one is a different project.

  • You already have automations, but nobody notices when one stops working.
  • The person who set them up has moved on and no one knows how they work.
  • You want someone to own the upkeep so your team can focus on customers.

How you would use it

How you would use it, month to month

  1. Your automations run. Leads, invoices and messages move between your apps as usual.
  2. A check catches a problem. When an app changes or a form is edited and something stops, the daily check spots it.
  3. It gets fixed. The fix is made and tested before it goes live, and you are told what happened.
  4. You read the summary. Once a month a short note shows what ran, what broke and what changed.

  1. Note to you

    Quick note: the form step stopped after a field was renamed. I fixed it and tested it. Nothing was lost.

  2. You

    Thanks for telling me.

What it takes

Your part, my part, and what to expect

  • Your part. Give access to the tools your automations use and tell me when something changes in your business.
  • My part. I review what you have, write it up, watch it every day and fix and improve it each month.
  • Cost. A monthly arrangement, sized to how many automations you have and how critical they are. Scope and ownership are agreed in writing first: see how a project runs.
  • Time. It starts with a review of what you have, and response times are set per automation.
