How to capture Error Message and send mail to the user

[amsrivastav]

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!!

Hi, @amsrivastav .

That code isn't exactly hard-coded. At runtime, Alteryx will replace everything between the % signs with the proper info.

For example: If your workflow does encounter an error, the portion that reads %OutputLog% will be replaced by the actual output log at runtime.

@amsrivastav can you elaborate on what exactly you need to capture
