Workflow Automation Provisions I Check First

Your operations depend on these automations. Know the limits and liability before building critical workflows.

High Risk

Monthly task limits can surprise you. One busy day can burn through your allocation, and overages are expensive.

Look for: Task counting methods, overage pricing, and what counts as a "task."

High Risk

When an integration breaks because the third-party API changed, you're on your own. Platforms disclaim responsibility for connected apps.

Look for: Third-party disclaimers, integration availability guarantees, and update responsibilities.

Medium Risk

Sensitive data passes through their servers. Logs may retain data for debugging. Know where your data goes.

Look for: Data retention, logging policies, and compliance certifications.

Medium Risk

Workflows can fail silently. Retry logic, error notifications, and execution guarantees vary by tier.

Look for: SLA guarantees, retry policies, and error handling features.

Medium Risk

Your workflows don't export to other platforms. Months of building automations = months to rebuild elsewhere.

Look for: Export options, migration tools, and workflow backup capabilities.

Medium Risk

Some integrations require higher tiers or additional fees. That Salesforce connection might need an upgrade.

Look for: Premium app lists, tier restrictions, and per-integration fees.
