Email Tool to send email even of error

I have a workflow which produces a result table and then update that result in TFS and then send email with same result.

What issue i am having is sometime TFS is failing and because of that even email is not sent with warning

No Messages were sent because the workflow has an error.

Now what i want is it should send email even though TFS fails. As they both are parallel process.

Some tricks i tried:

1) Block until done: attach sending email in 1 and update TFS in 2. But it goes right before "Email" Tool and then cont to 2 and then doesn't send email if 2 fails

2) Container but still doesnt work.

Can anyone please help me with this.

Hi @NidhiAg

Email tools always run last in the workflow, even if a block until done is used.

You can set configuration of your workflow to Not stop if you get an error

This way your email tool will run even if the TFS output doesn't succeed.

Caution: With this set, you may get emails with invalid data, since errors other than the TFS output will be ignored as well.

Perhaps you could configure an event email to send "After run with errors" for just this case. Here's an example for Events emails:

I did tried this solution but I have a table that is generated from workflow to send in the email body and some other HTML content. I dont know how to put in those using this option.
