Failure notifications on Real Time rules

Didn’t see this posted anywhere, but there seems to be no way to get notified if a Real Time Rule fails for any reason. It makes me extremely wary of using Real Time Rules if I have no way to get notified when something goes wrong.  In fact, no feature that relies on automation should GA unless there is a way to be notified when it fails for any reason.

Has this really been “Under Discovery” for two years?

Notifications where we work is key.

@rakesh, any update on this idea you can share?

@rakesh I just experienced a situation where a Real Time rule had been running “partially successful” for over a month, and I was completely unaware.

With respect, this is not something that can continue to go unaddressed - anything that involves automation requires failure notification.

This is a massive pain point for us as well. Relying on manual reminders to check daily execution logs just isn't scalable. Even when we do audit them, having to click into every single rule to expand its execution history is incredibly cumbersome and a major drain on time. Furthermore, RTRs are completely excluded from Analyzer.

The feature is at least 5 years old, it's highly frustrating that a foundational capability like failure notifications is still missing. This needs to be prioritized.

Continuous improvement is better than delayed perfection

Considering the recent investment in all things MCP and AI, this feels like an easy admin QOL win. Surely there’s a system already in place that could be leveraged to surface admin alerts from across our Gainsight instance? Some ideas:

  1. Gainsight Copilot (for admins)
  2. MCP (admins can set up recurring reviews for failures)
  3. Slack AI Agent

Completely in agreement here 👇
