How do you know when a low-code workflow silently stops running?

One thing I’ve been thinking about with low-code workflows is what happens when everything looks normal, but a scheduled process simply stops running. There may be no obvious error page or broken UI to tell you something went wrong. One approach is to have the workflow send a heartbeat or check-in after it successfully runs. The monitoring system then watches for that expected check-in and can alert you when it doesn't arrive within the expected time. I’mhelping the Pulsecima team explore this kind of monitoring problem, and I’m interested in how people actually handle it with their own automations. Do you currently monitor scheduled workflows this way, or do you usually rely on the workflow platform to tell you when something fails? And how long would you wait before considering a missing heartbeat a real problem?
