Hey guys,

we’re having problems with an external vendor whose service randomly breaks down. Usually that service will trigger a Zap, but when it breaks down it takes us manual checks to find out when it happens. Therefore, I was thinking to build some sort of monitoring flow that notifies me, when a zap hasn’t triggered for X amount of time. Is there a way to achieve this?

Hi @Johannes 

You can have to configure some sort of logging service.

For example, you could use an Airtable Base.

You’d have to build in some logic to detect the last logged event, and a formula to determine the time since that last logged event.

Then setup some sort of automation to notify you when it’s be X unit of time.


Hey Troy,

thanks for the tip. I already solved the problem. I’ve added a google sheet and log the last time a zap has triggered. In parallel I have a second zap that checks the sheet hourly for how much time has passed since the last zap was triggered.

 

Cheers

Johannes
