For people using Zapier, Make, n8n, etc. in real workflows:

How do you usually know when something breaks?

I’ve noticed that built-in run history is fine for small workflows, but it can get messy when there are multiple automations or client projects. I’m curious if people rely on the native error emails, send failures to Slack, check manually, or use some other setup.

Also, if you manage workflows for clients, do you document the logic anywhere, or do you mostly debug by opening the workflow when something fails?

Trying to understand if failed automation monitoring is actually a common pain point, or if most people feel the built-in tools are good enough.
