Automate the boring part first, not the clever part. If a task is dull and repeated, that's the one to hand off.

Before automating a task, write down the steps you do by hand. If you can't list them, the automation will just hide the mess.

Could your automation trigger itself? A workflow that updates a record may create another event. Test that loop with sample data and add a clear condition that prevents the same change from running forever.

Before renewing a SaaS subscription, compare paid seats with people who still need access. Check the renewal date and notice period. Assign one owner to review the next invoice against the agreed plan.

An empty field and a zero are not the same thing. In a reporting workflow, keep missing values distinct from measured zeros. Test both cases before calculating averages.

Before committing to a SaaS tool, test its exit route. Export a small sample and open it outside the app. Check whether attachments and relationships survive, not just the rows.

Could the recipient act on this alert? Include the affected record reference. Describe the observed difference. State which decision needs a person.

Before your next automation run: 1. Save a checkpoint after each confirmed action. 2. Keep the external record identifier. 3. Verify the checkpoint before resuming work.

Before your next automation run: 1. Write a definition for each shared status. 2. Map the statuses explicitly. 3. Route unmapped states for review.

Can someone explain a manual correction? Save the previous value before changing it. Record the reason for the correction. Keep the correction visible to the next operator.

Before your next automation run: 1. Record the result of each external action. 2. Separate completed work from pending work. 3. Resume only the steps that remain unresolved.

Can the destination handle the next batch? Agree on an acceptable batch size. Queue work above that size. Confirm acceptance before sending another batch.

Who supplies the missing input? Name the source owner for each required field. Define what happens when an input is missing. Keep incomplete work out of the sending queue.

What happens when the destination app is unavailable? Save the pending work. Make failures visible. Check for duplicates before retrying.
