17d • ✅ Show Your System
🛠️WORKSHOP WEDNESDAY #001🛠️
Welcome to the workbench.
Every Wednesday, we’ll open up something real — a build, problem, decision, failure, experiment, or lesson from inside the Lab.
For the first one, here’s something from a system we’ve actually been building at GLR.
We had a workflow that could find leads due for follow-up, send the right alert, and update the record.
That worked.
But working once isn’t enough.
⚠️What happens when the workflow runs again?⚠️
If a lead has already been handled, the system needs to recognize that and do nothing.
So we tested it again.
The workflow still woke up.
It still checked the data.
But there were no eligible leads.
The alert paths stayed inactive.
No duplicate message.
No unnecessary update.
That small test represents a much bigger systems principle:
A workflow isn’t finished when the happy path works.
You also need to know:
→ What happens the second time?
→ What happens when there’s nothing to do?
→ What happens when something already happened?
→ What stops the system from repeating itself?
Sometimes the most important thing a system can do is know when not to act.
My workflow is dropped below!
Your turn:
Think about a workflow you use, want to build, or deal with regularly.
What could go wrong if it accidentally ran twice?
👇Drop it below.👇
