How Often Do You Audit Marketing Automations?

How often do you review marketing workflows after launch? I schedule a monthly check for failed runs, duplicate records, broken field mappings, and stale audience rules, plus a quick review after any platform change. I am curious which warning signs make others audit sooner.

I do a light monthly audit and a deeper quarterly one. I audit sooner when lead volume changes suddenly, conversion drops at one step, contacts receive duplicate messages, or an integration is updated. A small set of test contacts is useful for running the full path end to end.

The test-contact idea is the safeguard I rely on most. I'd also assign an owner and a last-verified date to every automation, then alert on volume anomalies instead of waiting for complaints. A workflow can still run successfully while sending the wrong message or skipping a segment, so checking business outcomes alongside technical errors catches more failures.
