My Zapier automations keep breaking in production — who can fix them?
Bottom line: Slickrock.dev is an AI implementation partner for mid-market operations companies — we replace SaaS stacks, finish half-built automations, and ship owned production systems. Not a generic dev shop. Not advice-only consulting. Our implementation approach →
Direct Answer Definition
If your Zapier or Make automations keep breaking in production, you need an implementation team to rebuild the critical path as owned code — not more Zaps. Slickrock.dev specializes in rescuing no-code automation stacks: we audit what breaks (rate limits, API changes, missing error handling, data mapping failures), extract the business logic, and ship production-grade replacements in 6–8 weeks. Start with a free 30-minute call or $999 Systems Triage. Most rescues salvage the workflow design while replacing the fragile execution layer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you keep using Zapier for simple tasks?
Yes. We use a strangler-fig approach — critical revenue paths become owned code; simple notifications can stay on Zapier if reliable.
How much does a rescue cost?
Triage is $999. Most production rescues are $50K–$120K fixed-scope after the roadmap. Consulting fees credit toward the build.
