Before you start
The Automation page lists every workflowWorkflowAn automation: trigger plus steps, run per module; also called "flow" on the home page.Open glossary ↗ of one module and shows how often each ran and whether it fails. From it you open a workflow’s settings, its runs and its designer. Choose a module, then click Automation in the top bar.
If the address has no module, the page shows Choose a module with a search box. You can also switch module from the bar at the top.
What does each part of the list show?
Section titled “What does each part of the list show?”| Column | What it shows |
|---|---|
| On | A switch. Turn it off and the workflow stops starting. Its settings and history stay |
| Workflow | The name, the trigger tag, and the description (or “No description”) |
| Runs | The total number of runs, and the share that failed, or “No failures” |
| Last 14 days | A small bar chart of runs per day, with failures in red |
| Last run | When it last started, then Completed, Failed with the message, Running, or “Started, never finished” |
A workflow that has not run yet shows “Waiting for its first run”. The line above the list counts workflows, how many are on, the runs in the last 14 days and how many need attention.
How is health worked out?
Section titled “How is health worked out?”Choose Group by › Health to sort the list into four groups. Beezr also adds a badge to a workflow that is on.
| Group or badge | When Beezr shows it |
|---|---|
| Needs attention | The last run failed, or 5 or more runs failed in 14 days and at least 20% of them |
| Running fine | It is on and healthy |
| No runs yet | It is on, but nothing has started it |
| Off | It is switched off |
| Failing (red) | 5 or more runs in 14 days and at least half failed |
| Failures rising (amber) | 3 or more failures in the last 7 days, and a failure rate more than double that of the 7 days before |
| Last run failed (red) | The most recent run failed |
Group by › Trigger lists workflows by what starts them, in the order they run. Sort offers Last run, Name, Most runs and Highest failure rate. The search box matches names and descriptions.
