Know when scheduled work stops completing.
Austin Oaks Solutions builds small, focused tools that help developers and automation teams catch silent failures before customers do.
Silent failure
A scheduler, cron job, backup, automation, or agent can stop running without producing an error inside the system that failed.
Outside the workflow
The workflow checks in only after successful completion. If the next expected check-in never arrives, an independent service can alert you.
Simple by default
One HTTP check-in. No need to send workflow payloads, customer data, or internal credentials to use the core heartbeat pattern.
Job Heartbeat
A dead-man switch for cron jobs, scheduled scripts, backups, n8n, Make, GitHub Actions, AI agents, and other recurring work.
Run the job
Your existing workflow runs normally.
Finish real work
Only after success, call the unique heartbeat URL.
We watch the clock
Job Heartbeat waits for the next expected check-in.
Get alerted
If the check-in is late, you get an alert. When it returns, you get recovery.
