Who feels it
Ops and IT teams that outgrew their first-generation automation.
Fragile automation is worse than none - it fails silently, drops data, and quietly erodes trust until people go back to doing the work by hand.
Bottlenecks
Automations that break every time something changes
The Zap chains and RPA bots you built keep breaking on every API change or form redesign, and nobody fully understands them anymore.

RevSeptember 2026
Automations that break on every change are re-architected by auditing what the existing flows actually do, rebuilding the complex ones at the API layer instead of scraping screens, putting the logic under version control with tests, and adding monitoring for the cases that still fail. Evenops keeps the simple no-code flows and rebuilds only the ones that keep breaking.
What does it cost to leave it?
How do we fix it?
4 stepsWe re-architect brittle first-generation automation into durable systems - built at the API layer, put under version control with tests, and monitored - so they stop breaking on every change and someone gets alerted when they do.
Step 01
Audit the existing brittle flows and what they actually do
Step 02
Rebuild at the API layer instead of scraping screens
Step 03
Put the logic under version control with tests
Step 04
Add monitoring and alerting for the cases that still fail
Which systems resolve it?
2 recipesSales
Sync Airtable to a CRM on a schedule
A team tracks client details in Airtable for its own workflow, but sales needs the same data in the CRM, and keeping both current means updating twice.
Operations
Reconcile Salesforce records against an external source nightly
Salesforce and a second system (billing, ERP, a partner feed) drift apart over time, and reconciling them is a manual export-and-compare job.
For Operations teams. Most common for Mid-market companies, Small businesses. Weighing build vs buy? Custom automation vs Zapier. See our services and pricing.
Common questions
2 questionsWe outgrew Zapier. Do we have to rip it out?
Not necessarily. No-code tools are the right call for simple, well-behaved flows - we keep those and rebuild only the complex, high-value ones that keep breaking, where tests and version control actually pay off.
Why do our RPA bots keep breaking?
Screen-scraping bots depend on the screen never changing, which it always does. We integrate at the API layer where the contract is stable, and monitor the exceptions, so a vendor's form redesign doesn't take your automation down.
