Visibility (workflow)
The ability to see what automations are running, what they are doing, and how they are performing in real time. PURIST's client dashboard provides full workflow visibility: executions, run times, error rates, and data volumes at a glance.
Expert insight
Workflow visibility, being able to see what's currently running, what's queued, and what recently failed, without digging through logs, is what lets a team catch problems proactively rather than reactively hearing about them from an affected client first, worth investing in even for a small number of business-critical workflows.
In a real workflow
A shared board shows which workflows ran today, what they did and what failed.
Common mistakes
- Only the builder knows how things work.
- Too much detail to be useful.
Complexity level
Anyone can understand this no technical background needed.
