Every workflow needs more than a trigger and a few automated actions.
Before you automate anything, your workflow should answer five questions:
What starts it?
Who qualifies?
What happens next?
When does it stop?
And the one most people forget: **What happens when something goes wrong?**
Missing information. Failed payments. No response. Incorrect data. Unexpected stage changes.
A workflow built only for the perfect path isn’t a complete workflow.
Good automation doesn’t just move people forward. It knows when to proceed, when to stop, and when a human needs to step in.
**Build the logic first. Automate second.**
Save this for the next time you’re mapping a workflow.
