Complete How-To Guide: Running the 50-Point Automation Audit

Step-by-step audit process

• Step 1: Schedule 3 hours for the full audit. Create a spreadsheet with all 50 points and Pass/Fail/Not Started columns.
• Step 2: Section 1 (Monitoring): check each monitoring automation by reviewing recent alerts. Verify they fire correctly.
• Step 3: Section 2 (Reporting): review the last 3 automated reports. Verify data accuracy and delivery.
• Step 4: Section 3 (Content Workflows): publish a test page and verify all content workflow automations trigger correctly.
• Step 5: Section 4 (Technical Health): check Zapier/Make task history for technical automation runs. Verify no failures.
• Step 6: Section 5 (Integration): verify all connected accounts are still authorised and functional.
• Step 7: Score each section out of 10. Calculate a total automation maturity score out of 50.
• Step 8: For items scored as "Not Started", determine if they would save meaningful time. Prioritise by impact.
• Step 9: Create an implementation plan for the top 5 missing automations with estimated setup time.
• Step 10: Re-audit in 90 days and track your automation maturity score over time.
