Technology and infrastructure
Automation with an owner, a runbook and an alarm
Operloom builds marketing automation that a team can audit: every workflow has an entry condition somebody agreed, a failure path and a person responsible for it.
OPERLOOM / The system in motion
The right journey. Ready at the right moment.
A lifecycle calendar connects triggers, reviewed messages and the next action.
A defined event and consent state decide who can enter.
Messages, delays and branches are checked before activation.
Monitoring, suppression and a named owner support the live workflow.
01Business problems
Automating an unresolved process makes it worse
Most automation debt starts with a workflow built to patch a process disagreement rather than resolve it.
- Contacts enrolled in several conflicting workflows
- Nobody can say what a workflow currently does
- Failures visible only in a log nobody opens
- Changes made directly in production
- No record of why a rule exists
02Implementation scope
Design, build, test, document
Each workflow is specified before it is built, tested against real cases, and documented in a register the team keeps.
- 01Process mapping and decision logic
- 02Enrolment, re-enrolment and suppression rules
- 03Lifecycle and lead status automation
- 04Internal notification and task creation
- 05Data standardisation and deduplication
- 06Workflow register with owners

03Exception handling
Design for the cases that go wrong
The value of an automation is decided by what it does when the input is not what was expected.
- Explicit fallback for missing or malformed data
- Timeouts and escalation when a step stalls
- Human approval before an irreversible action
- Retry policy with a limit
- Alerts routed to a person, not a mailbox
04Change control
Make changes reversible
Automation is production infrastructure and is treated as such: tested somewhere safe, recorded, and reversible when it is wrong.
- 01Sandbox or staged testing before release
- 02Naming conventions and version notes
- 03Change log with reason and owner
- 04Scheduled review of dormant workflows
- 05Decommissioning process for retired logic

Question: Can you audit automation somebody else built?
Yes. An audit inventories every active workflow, maps overlapping enrolments, identifies silent failures and produces a prioritised list of what to fix, merge or retire.
