# Troubleshooting[¶](#troubleshooting "Permanent link")

## My automation isn't triggering a build[¶](#my-automation-isnt-triggering-a-build "Permanent link")

Check these causes, roughly in order of likelihood:

1. **Pattern mismatch** — the pushed branch or tag doesn't match the automation's [trigger pattern](/docs/cloud/automations/reference/#trigger-pattern-syntax). Confirm the pattern (e.g. `v*` matches tags, not branches).
2. **Skip keyword** — the head commit message contains a [skip keyword](/docs/cloud/automations/filter-by-commit-message/#skip-keywords) like `[skip ci]`.
3. **Disabled** — the automation is toggled off. Check the [Automations](https://console.cloud.capawesome.io/apps/%5F/automations) page.
4. **Webhook not registered** — if automatic webhook registration failed (insufficient permissions or a self-hosted provider), the Git event never reaches Capawesome Cloud. Configure it manually — see [Set up the Git webhook](/docs/cloud/automations/webhooks/).
5. **No build minutes** — your plan's [build minutes](/docs/cloud/native-builds/limits/) are exhausted.

## How do I confirm the webhook is working?[¶](#how-do-i-confirm-the-webhook-is-working "Permanent link")

Push a commit or create a tag that matches the trigger pattern, then check that the automation's **Last triggered** timestamp updates and a new build appears on the [Builds](https://console.cloud.capawesome.io/apps/%5F/builds) page. See [Set up the Git webhook](/docs/cloud/automations/webhooks/#verifying-the-webhook).

## A build was triggered but failed[¶](#a-build-was-triggered-but-failed "Permanent link")

That's a build problem, not an automation problem — see [Native Builds troubleshooting](/docs/cloud/native-builds/troubleshooting/).
