Detect a scheduled automation that did not deliver its result
An automation that never starts may send no error. Set up a separate expected-job check in Google Sheets with an alert to your own email address.
Open the solution →A problem in a small team’s work
Automation misses work or repeats it.
A green run does not guarantee the right result. One event was missed; another created two records. Compare expected work with actual outcomes.
Why address it
Repeating a run can create a second message or document, while a blind repair may overlook an existing result. Trace event identity and impact before choosing recovery.
How big is the problem in your team?
For one week, record expected events, completed outcomes, duplicates and unresolved exceptions. Run count alone is not the count of correctly processed projects.
This is a recommended measurement approach, not an estimate of an average business loss. We have no verified market benchmark for this specific problem. Your baseline lets you compare the change later.

An automation failed: retry it without creating a duplicate
A write error does not prove that no record was created. Inspect one incomplete Make execution and decide whether to retry from the actual destination result.
