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.
What it costs to leave it
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.
How we fix it
We 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.
- 01Audit the existing brittle flows and what they actually do
- 02Rebuild at the API layer instead of scraping screens
- 03Put the logic under version control with tests
- 04Add monitoring and alerting for the cases that still fail
Systems that resolve it
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
- We 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.
