Remediation (automated)
Automatically fixing detected problems without human intervention. Example: if a workflow detects a failed payment, it automatically retries the charge, sends the customer a notification, and updates the CRM record no human action required.
Expert insight
Automated remediation (a system automatically fixing a detected problem, like restarting a failed service) needs a limit on how many times it retries the same fix before escalating to a human, remediation that keeps attempting the same automated fix indefinitely against a problem the fix can't actually solve just delays the real resolution.
In a real workflow
When a sync fails because a token expired, the workflow refreshes the token and retries automatically.
Common mistakes
- Auto-remediation that hides recurring problems.
