Automation Error Notifications and Workspace Alerts
future

Auth Clickup
We would like to request a feature that proactively notifies users whenever an error occurs within the system that disrupts or prevents Automations from running as expected in their Workspace.
Currently, Automations may fail silently due to system errors, configuration conflicts, or backend interruptions, and users are not always immediately aware that actions did not execute successfully. This can significantly impact workflows, especially for teams that rely heavily on multiple Automations to maintain seamless operations.
We are requesting the following enhancements:
- In-app notifications when an Automation fails due to a system-related error.
- Optional email alerts sent to Workspace admins or Automation owners when failures occur.
- A visible alert banner or notification center indicator when users open their Workspace if recent Automation failures have occurred.
- A centralized Automation error log where users can review failure reasons and timestamps.
This feature would improve transparency, reduce workflow disruptions, and allow teams to quickly identify and resolve issues before they impact operations.

Error visibility is one of the biggest pain points we hear from teams running critical workflows — when an automation fails silently, the fallout can be significant by the time anyone notices.
We already have a basic audit log, but you're right that proactive notification is a different thing entirely. The four asks you've outlined are spot-on: push notifications at failure time, email escalation to admins, workspace-level banners, and a centralized failure log. These map closely to what we'd want to build for enterprise reliability.
No confirmed timeline I can share right now, but this is tracked and the detail here is genuinely useful. Thanks for writing it up so thoroughly.
