Ask AI about this page

Short answer

How can I find out why my UnifyApps automation failed?

Your AI uses the list_flow_executions tool to pull recent execution history and pinpoint the exact step that crashed. It then explains the error message in plain English. You'll get a clear breakdown of the failure points below.

Troubleshooting outcomes

Where every issue lands.

The AI sorts your execution data into these specific categories.

TRIAGE

Error identification

The AI finds the specific flow ID and timestamp where the execution stopped. You get the exact moment things went wrong.

ROOT CAUSE

Failure analysis

Your agent reads the error logs to tell you if the issue was a timeout, a bad credential, or a data mismatch. It translates technical jargon into plain language.

REPAIR

Fix suggestions

The AI looks at the failed payload and suggests how to adjust your mapping or logic. This helps you prevent the same error on the next run.

HUMAN

Manual intervention

If the error is a permission issue or a broken API key, the AI flags it for you. You'll need to fix these settings directly in UnifyApps.

The workflow

What your AI does when a flow fails.

The AI does the heavy lifting of scanning logs so you don't have to.

  1. Fetch logs

    The AI pulls a list of recent executions to find the ones marked as failed.

    list_flow_executions

  2. Isolate errors

    It scans the execution history to find the specific error code or message that caused the crash.

    list_flow_executions

  3. Interpret data

    The agent compares the input data against the expected schema to find mismatches.

    list_flow_executions

  4. Report findings

    The AI presents a summary of what went wrong and which specific step needs your attention.

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI fix the error automatically?

    No. The AI identifies the problem and suggests a fix, but you must manually update the workflow in UnifyApps.

  • 02

    Does the AI see my actual data?

    Yes, the AI reads the execution logs to understand why a step failed, which includes the data payloads sent during that run.

  • 03

    Can the AI delete a failed workflow?

    No. This MCP only has permission to read execution logs; it cannot delete or modify your workflows.

  • 04

    How does it know which flow to check?

    You tell the AI which flow to look at by name or ID, and it uses the list_flow_executions tool to find it.

  • 05

    Can the AI update my API credentials?

    No. Credential management is a manual task that stays within your UnifyApps account.
