Is there any way to send a notification [automation], when 2 of the latest run of a single flow fails? In the documentation for automation I see `threshold` and `within` parameters on Automation API, but different  flows may have different schedules hence the `within` parameter is not enough. ++ Making a automation for each flow with different `within` parameter value doesnt sound fun esp. when the rule is pretty simple.

Hi Bigya, thanks for this question. Youre correct that right now the threshold / within approach would be the closest thing we can get to that, but its a little blunt for what you’re trying to achieve. I am hoping to address this in the next month or so, basically allowing two events in any time window to trigger an automation, and/or allowing automations to fire only after retry.

(though it would be great to have something like &gt;2 failures _in a row_)

thanks brad, I’m hoping to tackle this in the next few months

or even % fail over total runs per provided rolling time window
