automation monitoring and maintenance, automated for Shopify
Shopify Automation Maintenance, Watched Every Day and Fixed Before You Notice
Shopify automation maintenance catches the quiet failures: a token that expired, a connector that changed, a plan that hit its limit. Make switches off scheduled scenarios after three consecutive errors by default, Flow keeps run history only briefly according to third-party sources, and a broken Zap stays broken until someone looks. We check your automations on a schedule, fix what breaks and tell you what we found, from $190 a month.
- Weekly checks of every automation's run history and connections
- Fixes for broken connections, mappings and changed triggers
- Plan and limit watching: tasks, operations and run history
- A short monthly report in plain language

Our track record
Over 450 Stores Built Since 2015. Here Is What That Means for Your Automation.
A decade of work shows in small decisions: which event to trigger on, when to retry, what to log. Those decisions keep automation monitoring and maintenance quiet and reliable.

Who this is for
Shopify Automation Maintenance: Who It Helps Most
Automations need looking after. These are the cases we cover.
You are a good fit if
- Your store runs on Shopify
- You can describe the rule in a few sentences
- You want a fixed price and a written scope
- You can share the access we ask for
Owners who learn about failures from customers
A weekly check finds a stopped Zap before a customer does.
Teams on Make
Scheduled scenarios deactivate after three consecutive errors by default. We catch it the same day.
Teams using Flow
Run history is short, so failures need reading promptly. We read it weekly.
Teams with expiring connections
Tokens and connections lapse. We reauthorise before they stop.
Owners near plan limits
We watch tasks and operations so a plan limit does not stop the flow.
Owners without a technical person
One named contact owns fixes and questions.

From Trigger to Result: How Automation Monitoring and Maintenance Is Automated
Every automation follows the same path. An event arrives, the rules decide what applies, the action runs and the result is logged where your operations team can see it. The map shows the pieces we build and test before handover.

From First Call to Live Workflow: Our Shopify Automation Maintenance Process
A fixed order of work keeps the project predictable. You know what happens next at every point.
- 1
Scope and access
We list the workflows in scope and take read access, plus the access needed to fix problems in the larger packages.
- 2
Set up alerts
We agree who is told, how and when, and set up failure alerts where they are missing.
- 3
Baseline
We record normal run volumes and timings so unusual behaviour stands out.
- 4
Check daily
Each day we review run histories and connection health across your workflows.
- 5
Act on problems
When something breaks, we tell you at once and, in the fix packages, repair it and log the change.
- 6
Report monthly
At the end of the period you receive a short report with failures, fixes and recommendations.

Inside every project
What Keeps Your Store and Data Safe
Automations act on live orders and customer data, so mistakes are costly. These practices come with every package and explain why a fixed fee can still be a careful one.
Failures raise a flag
Failed runs notify a named person with the order and the cause, so silence cannot hide a problem.
Nothing sent without approval
No message to a customer goes live until you have read and approved it.
Counts compared, not assumed
After any catch-up we compare counts with the source, so missing or doubled records are caught early.
Plain scope, two revision rounds
You see the price before paying. Changes within scope go through two structured rounds, so a tweak never becomes an hourly invoice.
Narrow access, in your name
Access is as narrow as possible and every account remains yours.
Build in a copy, never live
We never build on live data: the workflow is tested on test records and your real orders and workflows wait for your approval.

Why Store Design Expert
Why Hire Us to Automate Automation Monitoring and Maintenance
Templates cover the happy path. We cover the rest, and we put the result in writing.
We live inside Shopify
Orders, refunds, edits and metafields are what we handle every day, which is a different skill from knowing a tool's menus.
Notes a colleague can follow
Our handover records what happens when, and which settings were chosen, so a future developer will not have to guess.
Tested on your real cases
We check against your own cases, like a failed run, an expired token and a platform update.
A direct line to the builder
You talk to the person working on your workflow, and questions about a rule or field get a plain answer.
Experience since 2015
We have launched more than 450 Shopify stores since 2015 and met most of the quirks that trip up automation.
A price you can plan around
Prices and extra days are visible for each package and option. Any platform subscription is billed by the platform; we tell you roughly what it will be.
What we need to get started
What We Need From You to Begin
Three things get the work moving: safe access, a few answers and a decision-maker. Here is the detail.
Approve a collaborator request
If the store is live, send us its address and approve our request. Ownership stays with you, our role is limited, and removal takes one click.
Starting from nothing? We build first
We can start in our own Partner account, set up the store and the workflow, then transfer ownership to you. A Shopify plan is chosen at the end.
Or share a staff login
A staff login works if that is easier. We still recommend the collaborator route, since it can be revoked in one click and leaves no password in circulation.
Access to the other tools
Add us to the tools the workflow uses, or have us create accounts under your email. You stay the owner in both cases.
Examples of the work today
Tell us where recent cases live, or send a handful. Real examples beat assumptions.
A decision-maker
Name the person who approves the rules and the test, and tell us which rule wins when two disagree.
Your Shopify owner password and card details never reach us. Changes are made in a copy, and we note every setting we touch.
