Reading the run detail page
The run detail page shows what Checkilo received for one automation execution.
Open it from My Checks, then choose a check and click a run in Recent runs.
Status
At the top of the page, Checkilo shows the run state:
| State | Meaning |
|---|---|
| in_progress | The run has started and has not reached a terminal ping yet. |
| success | The run reached /success or /ok. |
| failed | The run reached /fail or /failure. |
| timed_out | The run stayed open past Max run duration + Grace period. |
If an alert fired for the run, the page also shows an alert banner with the alert time.
Summary cards
The page shows four quick facts:
- Started: when Checkilo created the run.
- Ended: when the run reached a terminal state, if it has ended.
- Last ping: the most recent ping time.
- Pings: how many pings are in the timeline.
Timeline
The timeline lists every ping in arrival order. Each row shows:
- the received time,
- the ping status,
- the optional checkpoint label,
- optional JSON metadata.
Example:
1 start
2 checkpoint label sheet_saved
3 checkpoint label email_sent
4 success
The last label before a timeout is usually the last step that completed. If the timeline ends at sheet_saved, check the Zapier step after the sheet update.
Metadata
Metadata appears under the ping that carried it. Most teams send metadata on failure pings only.
Example:
{
"error": "Quota exceeded",
"record_id": "row-4421"
}
Use this to find the matching record in Zapier, your spreadsheet, CRM, or another system.
Debugging checklist
- Check the run state.
- Look at the last ping in the timeline.
- If the run has a
runvalue, use it to find the matching run in Zapier task history. - Open the Zapier step immediately after the last successful checkpoint.
- Fix the failing account, field mapping, quota, or webhook step.
- Test the Zap again.
If no run appears
If a Zap ran but Checkilo has no run:
- Check the webhook step in Zapier task history.
- Confirm the URL uses
https://ping.checkilo.app/<slug>. - Confirm the slug matches the check.
- Confirm the Zap is turned on.
