Alert notification

Question

HelloI have a workflow with 2 batch macros. The first one is to create a file, and 2nd one is to send an email with the file attached.I would like to place an alert(and send an email notification) - if the first macro fails - stop and send a notification, if not, continue the 2nd macro. If the 2nd macro fails notify as well.I use the event alert but it doesn't provide me the result I would like to achieve.Thanks for your advice

@Borisham,

For this you have two option :

1- Using the event pane

2- Using the e-mail tool you can configure it inorder to pass rows with errors

@messi007 @CharlieS Thanks for you both, that's great.

I just can't find the way to send an email in case of an error, would you be able to explain that in more details ?

Thanks!

@messi007 nailed it. You can also double-down on the "stop running on error" from the checkbox with the Message tool "Error - and Stop Passing Records Through This Tool" error type setting.
