Workflow Monitoring
Monitor the workflows behind your product
Track multi-step workflows, validate the data between steps, and catch silent failures before customers do.
Monitor booking flows, webhooks, imports, syncs, queue workers, reminders, and other background workflows from one place.
Why Workflow Monitoring Matters
Most monitoring tools tell you whether a service is up or whether a job ran. That still leaves a big blind spot.
A workflow can:
- ✓start successfully
- ✓move through multiple steps
- ✓trigger downstream systems
- ✗and still fail logically because the wrong data moved through it
Workflow monitoring helps you see where the process broke, which step produced invalid data, and what happened next.
What You Can Monitor
Booking & Scheduling Workflows
Reservations, appointments, calendar syncs
Webhook Processing Workflows
Receive, validate, and act on external events
Import & Sync Workflows
File uploads, row parsing, record validation
Queue & Worker Pipelines
Job queues, background workers, result persistence
Reminder & Notification Flows
Scheduled messages, delivery confirmation
AI & Enrichment Workflows
Data enrichment, model inference, result storage
Document Processing Workflows
Upload, parse, validate, and store documents
Payment & Order Workflows
Charge, fulfill, notify, and reconcile orders

Example Workflows
Booking Workflow
Webhook Workflow
Import Workflow
Queue Workflow
Why This Is Different
Most cron and heartbeat monitors answer:
- •Did the job run?
- •Did it finish?
- •Did it miss its schedule?
Workflow monitoring also answers:
- Did the right data move to the next step?
- Did the workflow continue with invalid input?
- Which step broke the process logically?
- Where should the team look first?

Frequently Asked Questions
How is workflow monitoring different from cron job monitoring?
Cron job monitoring tells you whether a job ran and whether it finished on time. Workflow monitoring goes deeper. It tracks each step in a multi-step process, validates the data flowing between steps, and detects logical failures even when every individual step reports success.
What kinds of workflows can I monitor with upti.my?
You can monitor any multi-step background process: booking and scheduling workflows, webhook processing, file imports and syncs, queue worker pipelines, reminder and notification flows, AI and enrichment workflows, document processing, and payment or order workflows.
Can upti.my detect failures that don't produce errors?
Yes. upti.my validates required fields and data integrity between workflow steps. A step can complete successfully but pass invalid or missing data to the next step. upti.my catches these silent, logical failures that exit codes and heartbeats miss.
How do I instrument my workflows for monitoring?
You send lightweight check-in events from each step of your workflow using our API or SDK. upti.my tracks the order, timing, and data validity of each step, alerting you when something deviates from the expected flow.
Does workflow monitoring replace uptime or heartbeat monitoring?
No, it complements them. Uptime monitoring checks whether your services are reachable, heartbeat monitoring checks whether jobs run on schedule, and workflow monitoring validates that the right data moves through multi-step processes correctly.
