SleekView Kanban for Uncanny Automator

SleekView Kanban reads Uncanny Automator recipe runs straight from the WordPress database, groups them into run statuses like queued, running, completed, and failed, and lets your team drag run cards across lanes to retry, mark resolved, or escalate without ever leaving WordPress.

Why Automator recipe runs need a kanban view

Uncanny Automator records every recipe execution as a row in wp_uap_recipe_log with the trigger source, recipe ID, user ID, completion timestamp, and a completed status column that tracks whether the run finished, is still running, or hit an error. The default Recipe Log screen shows these rows as a paginated table sorted by run time. That is fine for a handful of recipes per day, but quickly turns into noise once a site has thirty active recipes firing hundreds of runs a week.

SleekView Kanban reads the same Automator recipe log and groups runs by their completed status, which is the natural pipeline column for this plugin. Each card surfaces the recipe title, the user who triggered it, the action set that ran, and a relative time stamp so admins can scan a column without opening every log entry. In-progress and errored runs sit in their own lanes instead of mixing with completed runs.

Dragging a card from one column to another writes the new status back to the same log row, so retry hooks, Automator reporting, and any downstream integrations stay in sync. Bulk drags update every row in a single SQL transaction, so a stack of fifty errored runs can be moved into a retry lane in one sweep without a hundred clicks through the recipe log.

Workflow

From recipe log to kanban in four steps

1

Point SleekView at Uncanny Automator

Install SleekView, then pick Uncanny Automator from the data source picker. The plugin auto-detects the recipe log table, the linked recipe posts, and every Automator field. No queries to copy, no schema to map by hand, just confirm the runs look right in the preview.
2

Pick recipe status as the column

Open the view config and set the group-by column to the recipe run status. SleekView reads every distinct value Automator writes, including queued, running, completed, errored, and skipped, then turns each one into a kanban lane with a live count next to the lane title.
3

Choose what shows on each card

Decide which fields appear on the front of each card. Most teams pick the recipe title, the user who triggered the run, the action set name, and the started timestamp. Raw trigger data and action outputs open in a side panel without crowding the board.
4

Turn on drag-and-drop writes

Flip the drag-and-drop switch and SleekView starts writing status changes back to the Automator log on drop. Hook into the change to call Automator's own retry helper when a card leaves the errored lane, and capability checks keep retries limited to admins.

Comparison

Default Recipe Log vs SleekView Kanban

Default Automator recipe log

  • Flat recipe log table sorted by run time with no grouping by completion status
  • No visual sense of how many runs are errored or running right now at a glance
  • Retrying a failed run means opening the recipe and rerunning the trigger by hand
  • Bulk actions limit you to delete and export with no card-style preview of the run
  • Mobile admins get the same dense WordPress log table with painful horizontal scroll

SleekView Kanban

  • Groups runs by Automator completed status with live row counts per lane
  • Drag a card out of errored to trigger a retry through Automator's own helper
  • Card fronts surface recipe title, triggering user, action set, and relative run time
  • Errored and skipped runs sit in their own lanes so the completed pile stays clean
  • Capability-aware drops respect WordPress roles so only admins can purge errored runs

Features

What SleekView Kanban gives you for Uncanny Automator

Native Automator field support

SleekView reads every Automator recipe log column directly, including recipe title, triggering user, action set, and raw trigger payload. Pick exactly which fields show on the card front, which open in a side panel, and which stay hidden but searchable from the filter bar above the board.

Drag to retry runs

Every drop writes the new completion status back to the Automator log table in a single update. Hook the status change to call Automator's own retry helper when a card leaves the errored lane, and reporting widgets stay in sync without manual log cleanup.

Filter by recipe, user, or date

A filter bar above the board narrows lanes by recipe, triggering user, or run date range. Saved filters are per-user, so the dev clearing failed CRM pushes keeps a focused board while another admin filters to onboarding recipes from the same Automator log.

Audience

Three teams using the Automator kanban

Admins clearing recipe errors

Admins pin the board to the errored lane and drag cards out to retry. A clean errored pile means a broken Slack token never silently drops a week of CRM updates.

Site builders QA-ing recipes

When a new recipe goes live, builders watch the queued and running lanes to confirm every trigger fires the right actions before opening the recipe up to real users.

DevOps tracking automation health

DevOps teams use the board grouped by status to spot recipes that fail more than they complete and pull them out of production before they corrupt a CRM or membership database.

The bigger picture

Why a kanban beats a list for Automator

Automation runs are work items moving through a pipeline. Uncanny Automator ships a powerful trigger and action engine, but the default recipe log treats every run as another line in a flat table no matter where it sits in the pipeline. A queued run waiting on a cron tick looks the same as one that failed silently four hours ago because a third-party token expired, and a successful CRM push is just another row sorted by time.

That works at a handful of recipes. It falls apart at thirty. A kanban board fixes the shape of the data, not just its presentation.

Lanes show how many runs are queued, running, completed, or errored right now, drag-and-drop turns retry into one gesture instead of a recipe edit, and filters let each builder focus on the recipes they own. The same Automator data powers a different mental model, one that catches integration failures early instead of letting them rot in a log nobody reads.

Questions

Common questions about SleekView Kanban for Uncanny Automator

SleekView reads Automator data directly from the WordPress database, so any version that writes to the recipe log table works. Both the free build and the Pro license expose the same log schema, which means the kanban renders the same way regardless of which Automator plan you run.

 

By default a drop only updates the status column. You can extend it with a hook that calls Automator's own retry helper when a card leaves the errored lane, and that is exactly how most teams wire it up. SleekView keeps the two actions separate so accidental drags never trigger a flood of retries.

 

Yes. SleekView views are configuration only, so you can build one board filtered to onboarding recipes and another to CRM sync recipes from the same Automator log. Each user picks their default board, and admins can pin shared boards to the WordPress sidebar for the whole ops team.

 

SleekView reads distinct status values on every load, so a new status shows up automatically as its own lane at the end of the board. You can drag it into the right position in the pipeline, assign a color, and decide which fields the lane's cards should surface, without rebuilding the view.

 

No. The drag handler updates the same completion status column that Automator reporting reads, so widgets refresh on the next page load and never drift from the live state of the kanban board in front of the admin moving cards.

 

SleekView respects WordPress capabilities, so you can require manage_options or a custom capability before a card can leave the errored column. Builders see the lane and can scroll it, but the drop target rejects their card with an inline message instead of silently retrying a run.

 

Each lane uses a virtual scroller, so a column with thousands of cards still renders fast and stays responsive on a laptop. The lane header shows the exact count, and the filter bar at the top of the board narrows large lanes without resetting the scroll position or any cards already in motion.

 

SleekView reads and writes the existing Automator recipe log tables and never adds shadow tables for run data. View configuration sits in its own small options table, so uninstalling SleekView leaves every recipe, run, and reporting widget exactly where Automator wrote it.
