01The opportunity

The problem, as people describe it

Automation agencies running workflows for multiple clients learn about broken Zaps weeks later, when a client asks why their CRM shows no new leads. Free-tier monitoring amounts to watching Zap history and hoping to beat the client to the bad news, so small breakages compound into trust and revenue damage.

What is missing

What is missing is the product on the supply side: a tool built for the complaint above, from users in no-code automation error monitoring. The demand side is documented on this page — 1 first-hand Reddit report scored 80/100 for commercial intent — while the build side (MVP scope, suggested pricing, named competitors, risks) is what the dossier adds.
