Lindy Production Checklist

Overview

Comprehensive go-live checklist for Lindy AI agents entering production. Covers agent configuration, security, monitoring, error handling, and operational readiness.

Prerequisites

• Agents tested in development/staging environment
• Production Lindy workspace configured
• Team members assigned appropriate roles
• Credit budget approved for production usage

Production Checklist

Authentication & Security

• Production API keys generated (separate from dev/staging)
• API keys stored in secret manager (not environment files)
• Webhook secrets generated for all webhook triggers
• Webhook receivers verify Bearer token on every request
• .env files excluded from version control
• Key rotation schedule documented (90-day max)
• Enterprise: SSO enabled, SCIM configured

Agent Configuration

• Agent prompt reviewed for production quality
  • Clear identity and role definition
  • Numbered step-by-step instructions
  • Explicit constraints (no unauthorized promises, data limits)
  • Error handling instructions in prompt
  • Few-shot examples for consistent output format
• Model selection appropriate for each step:
  • Gemini Flash for simple routing/classification
  • Claude Sonnet/GPT-4o-mini for standard tasks
  • GPT-4/Claude Opus only where complex reasoning required
• Exit conditions defined with primary + fallback criteria
• Trigger filters configured to prevent over-firing
• Knowledge base sources current and synced

Integration Health

• All integration OAuth tokens current (not expired)
• Gmail: correct account authorized, label filters set
• Slack: bot invited to required channels
• Webhooks: endpoint URLs use production domains (not ngrok/dev)
• HTTP Request actions: target URLs are production endpoints
• Phone numbers: provisioned and tested ($10/month each)

Error Handling

• Agents have fallback behavior for common failures:
  • Integration auth expired -> notify admin
  • KB returns no results -> graceful fallback response
  • Condition matching fails -> default "other" branch
  • Agent step loops -> reasonable exit conditions
• Webhook receivers return 200 quickly (process async)
• HTTP Request action targets have health checks
• Credit usage alerts configured (50%, 80%, 95% thresholds)

Monitoring & Observability

• Regular review of agent Tasks tab scheduled
• Failed task alerts configured (email or Slack)
• Credit consumption tracked per agent
• Task completion rate monitored (failures should be <5%)
• Response time baseline established for each agent

Operational Readiness

• Runbook documented for common agent failures
• Escalation path defined (L1 -> L2 -> Lindy support)
• On-call schedule if agents are customer-facing
• Agent sharing configured (Edit/User/Template access)
• Team credit allocation set for team members ($19.99/seat on Pro)

Compliance & Documentation

• Data handling practices documented per agent
• Agent prompts include PII redaction instructions
• Knowledge base content reviewed for accuracy
• HIPAA: BAA in place if handling healthcare data
• GDPR: data retention policies defined
• Agent purpose and scope documented for team reference
