Option to not disable rule after it fails 5 times

There’s a rule that sends email to accountant. I have it as a button press that triggers a checkbox to check, that triggers a rule. This allows this automation to also be triggered automatically by a different way.

It’s sending an attachment, and there’s been a few cases where someone spams the button because it’s not working (file too large) and then the rule gets disabled. Not ideal. Buttons don’t get disabled after 5 times errors (I think), would be nice to have that turned off or configurable for rules.

Same – The ‘failure’’ condition is too hasty, and it also doesn’t seem to alert admins. I raised this in a previous idea / bug and they mentioned it would alert admins that a failure had occured, but I don’t seem to get those in inbox.

But yes, we rely a lot on automations and it’s a pain when you realize something hasn’t been running for several days.

It’s especially a pain for us because we use a lot of webhooks – and the only way to re-enable a webhook is to delete and recreate it via an API call. Arg…

If you’re not getting alerts, and you think your should be, based on your notification settings, reach out to us via chat and we’ll try and figure out the problem.

Thanks @Chr1sG I double-checked my notif settings and it’s set to send ‘integration errors’ – I may run a test and intentionally fail one of my integrations to confirm I get no notification, and if so I will reach out via chat. Thanks!
