Exercise 3: Set Up Monitoring
Time: 20-30 minutes
Configure execution alerts for your two most important workflows.
For Make: - Open each scenario - Settings > Notifications - Toggle "Email notification on failure" - Save - Send a test failure: modify the workflow to deliberately fail (set an impossible filter condition), run it, check your email, then fix the workflow and run it again
For n8n: - Create an alert workflow, or configure email notifications in Settings - Test that the alert works by deliberately triggering a failure - Document what information the alert provides
Document: - Which two workflows have alerts configured? - What does the alert tell you? (Workflow name, error message, time, anything else?) - How quickly did you receive it? - Is the information enough to diagnose the problem?
