How to capture Error Message and send mail to the user

Hi All,

I have created one Alteryx flow which using Control Container to maintain sequential execution.

Can you please suggest how to capture error message when Alteryx Flow fails and send email with the same message to the user.

Please suggest!!

Thanks

Hi @amsrivastav,

You can do that following the steps below:

1) Click on the whitespace of the canvas on the workflow

2) In the configuration window, go to events

3) Click on Add , Send Email

then you can leave the body and the subject as it and test it for yourself first and then change on how you think it needs to look

Please mark as a solution if it helps

Hi Swathi,

Thanks for the reply.

I am looking forward to capturing the error message and then send the same error message over the mail.

Below solution works well if i want to send HARD CODED message every time error occurs.

Please suggest!!

@amsrivastav Make sure you change run events on thing as i can see this is Disabled into the image.

Instead of the full output log, is there a variable that only sends the lines containing the error that cause the workflow to run with error? Thank you.

Example: From the output below, only want to send "00:00:02.972 - Error - User Canceled" in the email.
