Error Handling and Reliability
Error handlers on modules
Right-click any module and add an error handler — options include "Resume" (continue with a default value), "Ignore" (skip and continue), "Break" (retry later), or "Rollback" (undo the whole run).
Monitoring scenario health
Make's dashboard shows execution history for every scenario run — check it regularly for silent failures, especially on scheduled scenarios you don't actively watch day-to-day.
Setting up notifications for failures
Configure Make's built-in notification settings (or add an email/Slack module in your error handler) to alert you immediately when a critical scenario fails, rather than discovering it days later.
Key Takeaways
- Add error handlers with Resume, Ignore, Break, or Rollback strategies.
- Check execution history regularly, especially for scheduled scenarios.
- Set up immediate notifications for critical scenario failures.
- Unmonitored scheduled automations can fail silently for days.
Add error handling and alerts
Add an error handler to a critical module in one of your scenarios, and configure a notification (email or Slack) to fire if that module fails.
