Five automation mistakes I see constantly. One, no error alerts, so the workflow dies quietly for weeks. Two, hardcoding values that change, like folder names or currencies. Three, chaining too many tools when one could do the job. Four, no test mode, deploying straight to live clients. Five, and this is the big one, no monitoring on the steps that touch money or contracts. Automations are employees that never complain. You have to check their work, or one day a client will check it for you.
