How to capture success or failure status of workflow without events?

Pradeep66

HI team, 

 

I have built my custom exceptions and processing details from workflow. Now, I need to use this same email and make my email subject dynamic

 

example:

1)workflowname_success_timestamp

2)workflowname_success_errors_timestamp

3)workflowname_Failure_timestamp.

 

is there a way to capture the workflow status in a environmental user variables?

@ArtApa this is not apt for my case . As I have built 15 custom exceptions as per my business rules inside workflow. Each exception sends one table to set of people. The audience intended are different for different exceptions. Hence we have built this logic and integrated email tools in exceptions definition. Now, for these emails my user group is asking for status of the workflow in email subject for thier existing emails. 

 

Challenge no1: if I include as event, I cannot link to my custom exceptions as they are not failures but only data scenarios. 

 

Challenge no2: if I need to keep success or failure only through events in email subject, it's going to be a separate email. But I want to use emails inside workflow rather than outside through events.
