# Troubleshooting Automations

> Troubleshooting guide for Speckle Automate failures. Learn to identify and resolve three types of failures: by design (failed), code errors (exceptions), and platform errors (infrastructure issues).

# Troubleshooting Automations

Automations may fail for three key reasons:

## 1. By Design (**Failed**)

The function logic completes successfully but flags the automation as failed due to data not meeting specified checks or analyses.

**Solution:** Review the automation run reports in the UI.

## 2. By Code Error (**Exception**)

The function exits prematurely due to errors in the code logic. Speckle Automate flags the automation run with **Exception**.

**Solution:** Check the logs to identify and resolve the error.

## 3. By Platform Error (**Exception**)

Failures caused by issues in the execution environment:

* **Misconfigured Function Container**: Logs will reveal incorrect setup details.
* **Insufficient Compute Resources**: Out-of-memory errors will appear in logs.
* **External Factors**: Squirrels may have chewed through the wires!

**Solution:** Contact animal welfare to rehome the culprits.
