We have an automation that runs via cron. But if it fails there is no way to be notified or discover the failure. Maybe this is a feature request.

Hi @chrisolson Thank you for the request! This is a great idea. We have a backlog item for this, and I’ve added your post here to help inform the request.

In the meantime, you can spot failures by opening the automation at **[cursor.com/automations](https://cursor.com/automations)** and reviewing its recent runs, as you have done here. Thank you for the request!

We have many scheduled Automations. It is crucial to be alerted on failed runs.

Hi @Shahar_Barak I just wanted to let you know we’re still working on this. I’ll update the thread once we have any relevant info to announce.
