Diagnose failed automations without inventing a root cause or risking duplicate side effects.
Workflow Failure Triage turns sanitized run facts, exact errors, recent changes, and downstream effects into an evidence-based incident plan for Make, n8n, Zapier, Pipedream, Retool, Shopify, webhooks, and custom APIs.
What it produces:
- Incident summary, impact, and urgency
- Verified facts and explicit unknowns
- Ranked root-cause hypotheses with evidence for and against each
- Diagnostic steps in the safest order
- Containment and remediation options
- Replay, idempotency, duplication, and data-risk checks
- Validation test plan
- Escalation packet for an engineer or platform vendor
Safeguards:
- Requests sanitized evidence instead of passwords, tokens, customer records, or payment details
- Separates verified facts from hypotheses and never invents logs or system state
- Warns against blind production retries when a step can charge, message, overwrite, or duplicate data
- Prioritizes containment, reversible checks, least privilege, and targeted replay
Best for operators, agencies, support teams, and automation owners diagnosing partial failures, duplicate side effects, authentication errors, rate limits, webhook retries, mapping regressions, and unreliable API workflows.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which automation platforms can it help diagnose?
It is designed for Make, n8n, Zapier, Pipedream, Retool, Shopify, webhooks, and custom API workflows. Its method also applies to other automation tools when you can provide sanitized run facts and exact errors.
What should I provide for the best diagnosis?
Share the platform, workflow goal, trigger, expected and actual result, last known successful run, recent changes, sanitized run ID and timestamp, exact error text, redacted input or output samples, retry behavior, and known downstream effects. Never share passwords, tokens, authentication codes, payment details, or unnecessary personal data.
Will it execute a production retry or claim a definite root cause?
No. It produces a diagnostic and recovery plan from the evidence you provide. It keeps unknowns explicit and warns against blind retries when the workflow can send messages, charge money, change inventory, overwrite records, or create duplicates.
