💡 Workflow Wednesday 💡

Trust your flows, but remember, the strongest workflows are ones with contingency plans built in.

Switch flows that only work when everything goes perfectly aren't production-ready. Real workflows account for the inevitable problems like files that don't match expected specifications, network hiccups that interrupt processing, missing fonts or profiles, and other edge cases nobody anticipated during the planning process.

Here’s your checklist for essential error handling elements:
➡️ Clear routing for problematic files (not just stopping).
➡️ Notifications to the right person for specific error types.
➡️ Fallback processes for common issues.
➡️ Detailed logging that actually explains what happened.

We see too many workflows that silently fail, leaving files in limbo and operators confused about where things went wrong. Build your error handling first, then build your happy path. Your 3AM self will thank you when the troubleshooting is straightforward, and you’re not left doing that late-night detective work.

What's the weirdest error your workflow has encountered?
