*AI & automation*

We watch your live scenarios so automation never fails silently.

Every integration eventually breaks: APIs change, tokens expire, services update their logic. Monitoring, error handling and SLA-based response keep scenarios alive and keep saving you hours.

- **24/7 monitoring** We watch your Make, Zapier and n8n scenarios and catch failures before you do.
- **Error handling** Logs, retries and alerts: an integration failure does not lose data.
- **API updates** When a service API or webhooks change, we reconnect the scenario with no downtime.
- **SLA-based response** Fixed incident response time: from 8 business hours down to 1 hour.

## Quick answer

Automation support and maintenance is the continuous control of live scenarios: monitoring, handling of errors and integration failures, updates when an API changes and SLA-based response. Without maintenance, many scenarios break in the first year due to third-party changes. We keep automation alive so it keeps saving hours. Request a quote and we reply within 24-48 hours.

Here we explain automation support and maintenance for businesses in Valencia and across Spain. We cover why live scenarios break over time, how to set up monitoring and error handling and which SLA level to pick. By maintenance we mean not a one-off setup but continuous management: tracking the status of scenarios on Make, Zapier and n8n through logs and alerts, reconnecting when an API or webhooks change, extending the logic for new tasks and responding to incidents within a fixed window. The goal is that automation never fails silently and never turns from saving hours into quietly losing leads. Below you will find a step-by-step plan, a table of SLA levels with response times, Gartner’s view on hyperautomation and answers to common questions. At the end, our “AI & automation” packages with real prices and related services.

## How do you organise support for live automations?

### First monitoring and alerts, then improvements

Support does not start with changes but with visibility: until you can see scenario status and errors, any failure is only spotted through lost leads. The right order is to enable monitoring and alerts, set up logs and retries, define SLA-based response and only then work on improvements. That way automation stops failing silently and incidents are resolved in hours, not days.

1. List every live scenario and integration.
2. Enable status monitoring on Make, Zapier or n8n.
3. Set up alerts in Slack, Telegram or email on failure.
4. Turn on logs and retries so no data is lost.
5. Define incident levels and SLA response times.
6. Check token and webhook expiry and add renewal reminders.
7. Assign a protocol: who responds to each alert and within what time.
8. Review the logs monthly and plan scenario improvements.

## What support and SLA levels are there?

### The level is chosen by how critical the automation is

The maintenance level depends on how critical the scenarios are: report delivery can tolerate hours of downtime, lead capture cannot. The higher the level, the shorter the SLA response time and the wider the coverage: monitoring, error handling, API updates, planned improvements. Exact prices for “AI & automation” are in the packages block below; here is a reference of levels and response times.

**Support levels and SLA response times**

| Level | What it includes | SLA response | Who it fits |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Basic | Monitoring, alerts and failure review on request | Up to 8 business hours | Non-critical scenarios: reports, mailings |
| Standard | Monitoring, error handling, API updates, logs | Up to 4 business hours | Key scenarios: leads, CRM, invoices |
| Critical | Everything in “Standard” + priority, planned improvements, on-call | Up to 1 hour | Scenarios affecting sales and payments |

## Why do you need continuous maintenance, not a one-off setup?

### Sustainable automation needs management, not a one-time setup

A live automation runs in a shifting environment: third-party services update their APIs, tokens expire, webhook logic changes and data volumes grow. A one-off setup ages and, without maintenance, the scenario eventually breaks silently. Gartner analysts state plainly that sustainable automation is a discipline, not a project with a finish line: it must be continuously identified, vetted and maintained.

### Expert opinion

> Hyperautomation is a disciplined approach that organisations use to rapidly identify, vet and automate as many business and IT processes as possible; sustainable automation requires ongoing management and maintenance, not a one-time setup.

## In short: what maintenance gives you and how to start

Automation support and maintenance keep live scenarios from failing silently: APIs change, tokens expire, webhook logic updates. Start with visibility (monitoring, alerts, logs and retries) and only then move to improvements. The SLA level is chosen by criticality: from an 8-business-hour response for reports down to 1 hour for sales and payments. Without maintenance, many scenarios break in the first year, and Gartner calls sustainable automation a discipline, not a one-off project. That way automation keeps saving you hours.

## Frequently asked questions

### What does automation support and maintenance include?

Monitoring of live scenarios, handling of errors and integration failures, updates when an API or webhooks change, improvements and extending the logic, plus incident response within the chosen SLA. It is continuous management, not a one-off setup. Once a month you get a report: what broke, what was fixed, what was changed.

### What is an SLA in automation maintenance?

An SLA is a service-level agreement that fixes the incident response time. We offer levels from 8 business hours for non-critical scenarios down to 1 hour for those affecting sales and payments. The level is chosen by how critical the automation is.

### Why do live scenarios break over time?

Third-party services update their APIs, access tokens expire, webhook logic changes and data volumes grow. Without monitoring, such a failure is only spotted through lost leads. That is why maintenance and logs are needed continuously, not just once. The more services are linked in a scenario, the higher the chance that one of them changes.

### How do you find out about a failure before we do?

Through monitoring of scenario status on Make, Zapier and n8n and alerts in Slack, Telegram or email. Logs and retries help avoid data loss, and the notification arrives instantly on an integration error, before leads are lost. You hear about a failure from our message, not from a customer who did not get a reply.

### Can you maintain automation built by someone else?

Yes. First we audit the existing scenarios: we check the logic, access, error handling and failure points. After the audit we enable monitoring and take the system into maintenance at the chosen SLA level. After the audit you get a list of weak points with priorities, even if you decide to maintain the system yourself.

### What happens when a third-party API changes?

We reconnect the scenario to the new API or webhooks and test it on real data, ideally with no downtime. On the “Standard” and “Critical” levels these updates are part of maintenance and are done within the SLA. We usually know about upcoming API changes in advance from the services' notices and prepare the switch before the old version is shut off.

### Does maintenance include improvements and new scenarios?

Yes, the “Standard” and “Critical” levels include planned improvements: adding steps, new integrations and extending the logic for changing tasks. Large new scenarios are quoted separately as a project. The monthly volume of planned improvements is fixed in the contract, so both sides know the limits.

### How much does automation support cost?

Cost depends on the number of scenarios, the number of integrations and the chosen SLA level. Exact prices for “AI & automation” are in the packages block below. Request a quote and we reply within 24-48 hours. Before quoting we look at your scenarios, so the price is based on facts and not on an average.

### Is it safe to give you access to our scenarios?

Yes, when set up correctly. We work through official APIs and access tokens, permissions are kept to a minimum and every action is logged. We do not share your data with third parties without consent. Access is granted from your own account and can be revoked at any moment with a single action.

### In which languages do you provide support?

Support in Russian, Spanish and English, the studio’s three working languages. We deliver alerts, reports and instructions in your preferred language, and incident communication too. Alerts arrive in the channel your team already uses: Telegram, Slack or email. Instructions for the team are written in the same language.
