Automation inventory · v0.1 preview
What your automation layer has quietly accumulated.
Midden inventories every workflow across Zapier, Make, n8n, Power Automate, and Workato. It surfaces orphaned automations, silent failures, and connections to services that no longer exist.
The problem
Every team inherits automations they did not build and cannot find.
01 / ACCUMULATION
Accumulation without deletion
Teams add workflows every month. Almost nobody retires them. The layer only grows, and the map gets harder to draw. What was a clean catalog two years ago is now a shelf nobody wants to open.
02 / DRIFT
Ownership drifts
A workflow runs every night. The person who built it left eighteen months ago. Nobody has opened it since, and nobody wants to be the one who asks whether it still matters.
03 / SILENCE
Silent failure
A scheduled job runs on time, posts nothing downstream, and nobody notices until a monthly report arrives with missing numbers. By then the chain has been quiet for a quarter.
What Midden surfaces
Six platforms. Six questions. One inventory per workspace.
- Zapier
- last success · step errors · owner tenure
- last produced output 94 days ago
- Make
- scenario state · webhook endpoint health
- depends on endpoint retired Q2 2023
- n8n
- credential owner · cron fidelity
- owner no longer employed · 412 runs since
- Power Automate
- connection status · flow triggers
- triggered by deprecated Dataverse entity
- Workato
- recipe state · connector version
- connector EOL 11 months ago
- Cross-platform
- duplicate logic · overlapping schedules
- two workflows write the same sheet
Stratigraphy
A core sample of the workflows your team has laid down, quarter by quarter.
Each band is a quarter. Each cell is one workflow added in that period. Flagged entries sit in sepia.

How it works
Four steps from connection to inherited clarity.
- 01
Connect
Read-only OAuth to each platform. Midden never runs, schedules, or modifies a workflow. - 02
Inventory
Every workflow catalogued with its last run, last change, estimated owner, and the downstream surface it touches. - 03
Analyze
Signatures of orphan, silent failure, and deprecated connection applied. Findings are grouped and dated. - 04
Report
Findings returned to you with context. You decide what to keep, archive, or rewrite.
Trust
What we touch. What we retain. What we cannot do.
- Read-only, always
- We do not execute, schedule, or modify any workflow. Nothing runs because of Midden.
- Metadata over payload
- We analyze schedule, owner, endpoints, and last status. Payload contents are not retained.
- Your region, your data
- Findings return to you. Nothing is retained on our side beyond inventory metadata.
- SOC 2 path in progress
- Type I target: Q4 2026. Type II follows. We will not claim certification we do not hold.
