When an automation suddenly starts behaving differently, the first question is always: what changed?
Often nobody knows. Someone edited a prompt, a form got a new field, a sheet column was renamed, an API key was swapped.
A simple habit fixes this: a shared log with one line per change.
- date
- which automation
- what was changed
- who changed it, and why
It can be a sheet, a doc, or a channel. The format doesn't matter. What matters is that it's the first place you look when something breaks.
It feels like overhead at first. After the first time it saves you an hour of guessing, you won't skip it.
