Make alerts tell people what to do

Zapier's alert names the Zap, shows the error, and gives a Troubleshoot button.

A clear next step turns a scary alert into help. To copy it, name the exact thing that broke. Then show the error in plain view.

  1. Name the exact thing that broke
  2. Show the error in plain view
  3. Give one fix button and backup links
