Problem Solved

This workflow addresses the issue of automated error handling in workflows. By integrating ErrorTrigger with Gmail, it ensures that users receive timely notifications whenever a workflow fails. This allows for quick response and resolution, minimizing downtime and enhancing productivity.

Workflow Steps

  • Schedule Trigger: The workflow is triggered automatically every day at midnight, ensuring regular updates.
    2. Get Error Handler: It retrieves the current error handler configuration for the workflows.
    3. Check Conditions: The workflow checks if the workflow is active, has no error handler set, and is not the handler itself.
    4. Set Fields: If the conditions are met, it updates the workflow settings to include the new error handler.
    5. Update Workflow: The updated workflow is then saved back into the system.
    6. Error Trigger: If an error occurs, the Error Trigger node activates and sends an email notification via Gmail with details about the failure, including the workflow name and execution URL.

    • Customization Guide

    Users can customize this workflow by:
    - Modifying the Email Recipient: Change the 'sendTo' parameter in the Gmail node to specify different email addresses for notifications.
    - Adjusting the Schedule: Alter the parameters in the Schedule Trigger node to run the workflow at different times or intervals (e.g., weekly instead of daily).
    - Changing Error Handling Logic: Edit the conditions in the active && no error handler set && not this handler workflow node to refine which workflows should be monitored.
    - Customizing the Notification Message: Modify the message template in the Gmail node to include additional context or information relevant to the team.
