Tier 1 + Tier 2 · Automation

Workflow & automation reliability

Automation fails quietly. A trigger throws an error, the platform logs it, and nothing tells anyone; a workflow fails on every single run and the queue keeps accepting work; an integration is repointed at a test endpoint during a release and never pointed back. On one live tenant we found 33 of 152 active event triggers silently in error, one of them the trigger behind an automated conflict check. This audit reads the automation estate end to end and reports which of the things you believe are automated actually happen.

1What we examine

roadmapTriggers silently in error

Every configured event trigger is checked for error state. A trigger in error raises no alert; the work it was meant to do stops happening, and the gap is invisible until someone asks why a step was missed.

roadmapWorkflow failure rates

Execution history per workflow: success, failure, and retry rates across the instance population. A workflow failing on 100% of runs across thousands of instances is not automation, it is a queue of undone work.

roadmapBroken and misdirected integrations

Integration endpoints resolved and verified, including the release-day classic: a production integration left pointing at a development endpoint, so live matters call a test system.

roadmapStale and erroring workflow instances

Instances stuck mid-flight: erroring, suspended, or untouched for months while the matter they belong to moved on without them.

roadmapRoute latency telemetry

95th-percentile latency per API route from platform telemetry, so the slowest routes your users feel every day are named and ranked rather than anecdotal.

roadmapError patterns & data in logs

Recurring error signatures grouped and ranked, and a specific check for personally-identifiable information (PII) being written into error logs, where it sits outside every access control you configured.

2How we examine it

Trigger state, workflow execution history, and integration configuration are read through the administration and event-engine surfaces; latency and error telemetry come from platform diagnostics (Tier 2 scope). Everything is read-only. These checks are not yet part of the productised lens pipeline: they were built and proven on a live engagement and run today as engagement-scoped analyses, which is why every item above carries a roadmap chip.

These automation checks are not yet in the productised lens pipeline: they were proven on one live engagement and run as engagement-scoped analyses today, which is why every item above carries a roadmap chip. The trigger, workflow, and integration figures quoted, in the panel and in the text, are observed measures from that engagement; the client is not named.

3Example finding

Observed measures from one live engagement (client not named); underlying lens on our roadmap, not yet in the productised pipeline

On one live tenant, 33 of 152 active event triggers were silently in error, including the trigger behind an automated conflict check; several workflows showed a 100% failure rate across thousands of instances; and production integrations were found pointing at a development endpoint. The panel below presents those observed findings.

  • 33 of 152 active triggers silently in error on one live tenant, including an automated conflict check (observed on a real engagement; no client is named)
  • Workflows failing on every run across thousands of instances, with no alert to anyone
  • Production integrations calling a development endpoint, so live matters reached a test system

4The benefit

What you walk away with

You learn which of the automations you rely on actually run, ranked by consequence, with a repair list your Sharedo team can action: re-arm the erroring triggers, fix or retire the always-failing workflows, and repoint the integrations before a missed conflict check or a passed date makes the gap visible the hard way.
