Make
Use Make to map a workflow across applications and handle the exceptions that would otherwise leave a manual task unfinished.
Automate business processes
Automate one repeatable process where the trigger, expected output and recovery steps are clear. Keep someone accountable for failures.
What causes the problem?
Automating a process with changing rules moves confusion into software and makes failures harder to detect.
Practical steps
- Draw the current process with one normal and one exception case.
- Test the trigger and output in Make or Zapier.
- Document fallback and ownership in a shared workspace.
