Which projects does this service suit?

Suitable if …

Not suitable if …

  • You need immediate availability without clarifying scope first.
  • The original automation is unavailable or its business rules are entirely unknown.
What this covers

Why has my automation suddenly stopped working correctly?

A renamed field, expired access or changed application response can interrupt an existing flow. Sometimes it appears successful while details land in the wrong field. We trace a specific case from trigger to actual result.

The commission covers an existing workflow and up to three agreed causes. Before correction, we preserve the version being edited and define data safe for testing. Completed actions are not repeated without control.

Find the cause before catching up on cases

A red error often shows only where a problem becomes visible. Its cause may be earlier, such as an empty identifier or changed mapping. We compare expected behaviour with the failure and limit changes to the confirmed connection.

After repair, we also check examples that previously worked. Whether pending cases may be rerun is established separately. A documented retry path prevents repair from creating new duplicate records or unwanted messages.

Does this sound familiar?

Results are missing since an update

A service was updated or a form changed. We compare current data structure with what was expected and identify the affected processing step.

A case is created several times

Contacts or tasks appear twice. We examine triggers, retry rules and existing identifiers before merely deleting the visible second entry.

The flow reports success, but the data is wrong

Text lands in the wrong column or a status is not applied. We include the actual destination result in the review rather than relying only on a green execution indicator.

How we approach it.

  1. Reproduce the error

    We preserve the existing workflow version and reproduce the error with suitable test data. Changes to real records require a previously agreed execution method.

  2. Correct the cause

    Confirmed faults are fixed within defined scope. If a fundamental rebuild emerges, we document the relationship and agree additional work beforehand.

  3. Clarify comparison and reprocessing

    Corrected and previously successful cases are retested. The log also states whether and how earlier affected cases should be reprocessed under control.

After handover

Keep the corrected version and test cases together. Later changes can then be checked for recurrence of the same error or a different affected processing step.

Repair does not automatically include monitoring every future run. Regular support requires separate agreement on responsibilities and review intervals.

After your enquiry

What we clarify next.

Ask about this service ↗

Describe a typical run: what triggers it, which programs are involved and when is it finished? An example without personal data is enough to begin.

Note exceptions, approximate frequency and the responsible person. Credentials, real customer messages and confidential documents do not belong in the enquiry form.

Terms used in this service

What does that mean?

Execution log
A record of steps completed. It helps troubleshooting but may contain confidential input and is used only within the agreed framework.
Regression test
Retesting previously working cases after a change. This checks whether repair unintentionally changed another part of the flow.
Root cause
The technical or business reason for an incorrect result. The location displaying an error is not necessarily where its cause lies.
Before your enquiry

Questions about the offer.

What is included, what do you need and what happens after your enquiry?

The process in detail →
Do you repair workflows built by someone else?

Yes, after reviewing the accessible structure and required permissions. We must understand the result the flow was originally meant to produce.

Can you immediately take over a failed process?

Work start and availability are confirmed in writing. The package includes neither continuously staffed emergency support nor a blanket recovery deadline.

Are missing cases automatically rerun?

First, we check which steps have already occurred. Reruns happen only for the agreed dataset and after confirmation of the retry rule.

What if the external API is no longer available?

A retired function cannot be restored through a local field correction. We identify the dependency and clarify whether an alternative connection needs new scope.

Which information helps in the first enquiry?

Name the tool, expected result and visible failure pattern. Do not initially send credentials or complete execution logs containing personal data.

When does work begin?

We confirm the start and delivery deadline in writing after reviewing your documents. The agreed scope and complete source data determine the schedule.

Which access is needed?

An accessible workflow, known errors and the last successful run time Anonymised examples of expected and actual results Credentials must not be included in the enquiry. Details are agreed only after written commissioning.

What happens after handover?

One written follow-up round is included. The service scope lists the analyses, designs or technical changes covered by the package. We agree additional work with you before it begins.
