Eliminating Blind Spots: Automating Failure Detection for Power Automate
A manufacturing client needed a reliable way to monitor failed Power Automate runs across multiple environments. Their teams were spending valuable time manually checking for issues, often discoveroomg failures long after they occurred. To streamline oversight and ensure timely responses, they partnered with IncWorx to build an automated, configurable reporting solution.

The Challenge
Managing Failures Across Multiple Power Automate Environments
With dozens of flows running across multiple environments, failures could easily slip through the cracks. The client needed a centralized, automated way to detect issues the moment they occurred, compile the details into a clear, readable format, and deliver that information directly to the right team members. Relying on manual checks was slowing them down and leaving too much room for missed problems.
They also needed a solution flexible enough to evolve with their operations. Administrators wanted the ability to adjust the lookback window and update the recipient list without modifying the flow itself. In short, they needed automation that was not only accurate and timely, but also adaptable and easy to manage long term.
The Solution
Automated, Configurable Failure Monitoring
IncWorx designed an hourly Power Automate flow that scans every environment for failed runs within a configurable timeframe. By leveraging environment variables, administrators can easily adjust both the lookback window and the recipient list without modifying the flow itself. This gives the client full control over how frequently failures are reviewed and who receives the updates.
When a failure is detected, the flow collects detailed information, compiles it into a CSV report, saves it to OneDrive, and emails it directly to the designated recipients. If no failures occur during the scan, the flow ends quietly without sending unnecessary notifications. The result is a streamlined, automated monitoring process that delivers the right information to the right people at the right time.
This approach allowed the client to automate monitoring, eliminate manual checks, and get fast, accurate visibility into failures.
The Outcome
Clear Visibility and Faster Issue Resolution
The client now has a streamlined, scalable way to manage user access across all Power Platform assets. Administrators save significant time, new team members receive the access they need instantly, and the risk of missed or inconsistent permissions has been completely removed.
This automated approach strengthens governance, improves accuracy, and supports the client’s expanding digital operations. With ownership updates handled end‑to‑end, the organization can focus on innovation rather than manual administration.
The Conclusion
A Scalable Approach to Reliable Automation
This project demonstrates how thoughtful automation can transform the way organizations monitor and maintain their systems. By replacing manual checks with a centralized, configurable reporting process, the client gained immediate visibility into failures and the ability to respond before issues escalate.
With a solution built to adapt as their environments evolve, the client is now equipped with long‑term reliability and a clearer path to maintaining a healthy Power Automate ecosystem. IncWorx delivered not just a fix, but a foundation for ongoing operational confidence.
