When It Breaks

Connections and inputs can shift, so prepare a recovery plan before you need one.

A Short Runbook

• Pause the workflow with one click.
• Open the log and find the first bad run.
• Decide which piece failed: trigger, input, model, check or destination.
• Fix that piece, rerun your full test table, then turn it back on.
• Write down what happened and add a test case for it.

What Usually Goes Wrong

• A connection or login expired.
• A field was renamed in a source app.
• An input format was altered.
• A model update altered the style or the format of the output.

Exercise

Write your own runbook for your workflow and say who gets the failure alert.
