Lesson 8 of 8
Final Workflow
Finish a reliable automation by combining trigger, AI transformation, validation, fallback and review.
Active reading
Understand the idea
Document the happy path and at least three failure paths: bad input, model failure and invalid output. Then decide whether each case retries, stops or escalates.
Example
New form → validate → AI classify → validate JSON → low confidence to human → approved record to CRM.
Practice
Apply this lesson to one real task you already have, then write down how you would verify the result.
Common mistake
Testing only the perfect happy path before turning the workflow on.
Key takeaway
Reliable automation is defined as much by failure handling as by the AI step.
