Guides
Automation fails quietly when nobody decides what should happen in the non-standard cases. This guide explains how to build exception handling into automation workflows so unusual records, low-confidence extractions, and blocked handoffs get surfaced properly instead of disappearing into the gap.
Why this matters
Many teams are comfortable automating the routine path but do not define the fallback path. That creates hidden operational risk because failures only show up later, after time has already been lost.
What good exception handling looks like
The goal is not to stop exceptions from happening. It is to make sure the workflow knows when to pause, who to notify, and what information should be provided for the next decision.

FAQ
Exception handling is the part of an automation workflow that decides what happens when the input, rule, or handoff does not match the normal path. It keeps edge cases visible instead of letting them fail silently.
Not for every step, but most business-critical workflows benefit from a defined review or fallback route for the cases that should not be pushed through automatically.
