Flow fails and nobody notices
Default alerts are weak. Add your own healthcheck and send to Slack or email.
Try this first
- 1Enable built-in fail notification per flow
- 2Add a heartbeat flow that runs hourly
- 3Send fail events to a dedicated #ops channel
- 4Tier alerts: per-execution failure vs trend failure
When to bring us in
Silent-failure mode: alert on missing runs, not only on errors.
