Alternate Flows

A1: Missing metadata: If a Notion entry lacks required fields, Make flags it for manual review.

A2: GPT tagging error: If tags are missing or irrelevant, record is flagged for admin correction.

A3: Airtable API downtime: If Airtable is unavailable, Make queues entries for later sync.

A4: Duplicate entries: If the same content is sent twice, Make merges or updates instead of duplicating.
