Monitoring failed CRM updates

Find failed and missing CRM integration updates with run history, reconciliation, owned exceptions and safe replay checks.

Monitor whether an integration ran and whether the intended business update arrived. A failed-run alert can reveal an automation error, but it cannot reveal an enquiry whose trigger never fired or prove that operations accepted a request. Compare source events with destination states and give each exception an owner.

Define the expected result

For each important transfer, specify the source event, destination record, expected state and a time for checking it. Choose that time according to the consequence of delay.

Keep a source reference, attempt time, error or rejection reason, current destination state and responsible person in the exception record where available. An alert can point an authorised reviewer to the customer record without copying its full contents into a widely visible message.

Use run history as one signal

Power Automate records run history and error details. Per-run failure alerts are sent when the system identifies a known issue with a specific fix; if it cannot identify a specific fix, no per-run alert email is sent. After an alert is sent for a flow, a 28-day cooldown applies before another per-run alert can be sent for that flow.

The Power Platform admin centre's Monitor experience can track all failures across flows and environments, including failures that don't generate an email.

HubSpot workflow history can show an enrolled record's path and individual action success or failure on the documented Professional and Enterprise subscriptions.

Triage before replay

ExceptionFirst checkNext decision
Bad or missing inputInspect the source and rejectionCorrect the data, then retry if appropriate
Access or connection failureInspect the connection and effective rightsRestore access, then reconcile
Temporary service or rate limitInspect the connector's retry stateWait or retry according to its behaviour
Destination may have accepted the requestSearch by source referenceLink the existing result before replay
No run existsCompare source events with trigger historyRepair the trigger or route the work manually

These are investigation prompts, not platform error categories. Before retrying, confirm that the input is still valid.

Reconcile and close exceptions

Compare eligible source events with accepted destination records at an interval appropriate to the business. Keep an individual exception list so a named person can resolve each gap. Close an exception after checking the receiving state, recording whether the item was repaired, handled manually or intentionally rejected.

Before wider use, check how the process signals an invalid field, a lost connection, a repeated event and a receiving-system rejection in a safe test setting.
