The Zapier graveyard
Every operations team that grew through Zapier eventually has one of these — a sprawl of automations built across four years by three different employees, half of which still run, half of which silently failed last December. The retail operator we worked with had 112 of them.
We didn't migrate all 112. We audited, identified the 47 that actually ran weekly, killed the rest, and rebuilt the survivors on the platform with shared models and shared observability. Now the operations director can read a single dashboard instead of three.
We were paying $6,000 a month to a team I'd never met to maintain workflows I didn't understand. The platform gave us the workflows we actually needed, and the studio runs them with us.
