RPA COEs — Stop Your Daily Checks
Automation Watchdog transforms the daily routine of RPA COEs by introducing an innovative way to monitor workflows. Gone are the days of manual job & queue reviews and outcome checks.
Automation Watchdog monitors your bots and alerts you only when it matters turning workflows into self-reporting entities that signal status and trigger the timely interventions you define.
This leap forward ensures operational efficiency, reduces the chance of oversight, and allows your team to focus on tasks that truly require human insight.
The Cost of Ineffective RPA Monitoring
Today's RPA platforms don't lack monitoring - they just don't give you the kind that matters.
Resource Waste
Teams burn hours on daily and weekly checks, babysitting workflows just to spot issues before clients do.
No clear signal when processes are healthy again—teams manually confirm and update others.
Robots waste cycles retrying failed items, piling on errors that eventually require manual cleanup.
Valuable developer time lost to low-value oversight.
Increased backlog of manual rework after failures.
Higher infrastructure and license costs from wasted robot processing.
Missed Errors in Critical Workflows
Platforms spam alerts for trivial hiccups, while real accumulation of errors slips by unnoticed.
Every workflow has nuances; without proper monitoring, small but important signals get lost.
Critical failures detected too late.
More downtime and missed SLAs.
Loss of confidence in automation reliability.
Damaged Reputation & Upset Customers
Teams hired to automate routine tasks end up performing daily routine tasks to catch issues manually.
Clients await the results of their bots, they are often the first to discover issues, before the automation team.
Credibility of the automation program takes a hit.
Increased friction and stress for the CoE.
Clients hesitate to expand automation, fearing more headaches than value.
How Automation Watchdog Works
Seamless integration with your RPA platform for complete awareness of real issues.
1. Create a Watch
Create a Watch in Automation Watchdog defining what success looks like. When should the workflow check-in by, how often. This ensures the events you expect are happening on time.
2. Add a Simple API Call
Drop a lightweight API call into your workflow at the right moment — after items load to a queue, a task completes, a report is sent, or a queue is cleared. This call, tied to the Watch, replaces the manual checks you used to perform.
3. Sit Back and Respond When Needed
That's it! If everything runs as expeced, you'll hear nothing. But when something important slips or misses a check-in, you'll get an alert. These are the alerts you need to actually respond to.
