New: Tekst reviews your automation before you publish it

Publishing an automation now starts with a review. Before your changes go live, Tekst runs a diagnostics scan that checks the automation and every connected app it uses, so problems show up before they reach real conversations. Publish diagnostics are available now.

What is new

• Review and publish. The publish button is now called Review and publish. Clicking it starts a scan, and when no issues are found, the automation is published.
• Checks on your connected apps. Next to the checks that already run on every save, the review also checks the apps your automation uses. It warns you when an account is no longer connected, when the connected account no longer offers an action, or when a value you selected (such as a folder or inbox) no longer exists in that account.
• Clear results. While the scan runs, the bar at the bottom of the builder shows Checking for issues. When it finds something, click View issues to see what is wrong and how to fix it, then run the review again.
• Publish anyway when you need to. For an urgent fix, you can choose Publish anyway, even while the scan is still running. Tekst asks you to confirm first.
• Review without publishing. From the publish dropdown, choose Review automation to run the scan without publishing. It takes up to two minutes.

Why it matters

An automation acts on real conversations, so a step that points to a disconnected account or a deleted folder can quietly fail in production. The review catches these problems while you can still fix them, which makes it safer to build and change your own automations, including automations you build with an AI assistant through the Tekst MCP.

Good to know

• Warnings and problems with connected apps never stop you from publishing. Serious errors in the automation itself must be fixed first; Publish anyway is not available until they are.
• The review complements the checks that run on every save and the version history of your automation. Together they help you change automations with confidence.
