The problem
A third-party widget starts throwing errors at checkout at 2am. Waiting for a hotfix PR to build and deploy can mean hours of lost orders.
Datsnip is not a replacement for your pipeline. It is a safety valve next to it.

Frequently asked questions
Does Datsnip replace error monitoring?
No. It detects JavaScript errors and ties them to the clicks they break, but it is not an error-monitoring or alerting platform.
Can monitoring tools trigger a Datsnip change automatically?
Not today. Changes are made from the dashboard or by in-browser triggers. There is no public API for external alerts to trigger a change yet.
