How Rozas uses Zapier to give every lead a 2-minute headstart

Why it matters

Automation has a well known trap: automating a bad process only means getting it wrong faster and at greater scale. Before connecting two systems it is worth asking whether the step being automated should exist at all.

My criterion for what to automate is simple: high volume, stable rules and bounded consequences when it goes wrong. When any of the three is missing, automation costs more than it saves and gets dismantled within eight months.

What usually goes wrong

Where it usually goes wrong is permissions. To make the flow work, an account with broad access gets created because that is the quick path, and that account stays there forever with no owner and no review. It is the most common back door I find when auditing an automated operation.

What to watch

  • What happens when the system on the other side changes, because it will change without warning.
  • Cost per run at real volume, which on these platforms scales fast and surprises people.
  • How the flow reports failure, and to whom: without that, the error gets discovered by the customer.

How I read this entry

If this were adopted in an organisation, I would ask from day one for a simple register: which flows exist, who built them, which systems they touch, and who to call when they fail. It costs an afternoon to set up and avoids the scenario where nobody knows what broke.
