Hello,
I wanted to know if it’s possible to output any error messages from the flow into an Excel file.
Thank you.
@BautistaC888 Normally when there is an error then the WF will stop working at that point. If you are running the WF from the gallery then you can get the error log from there. Another way will be to enable the Log File output (Events Tab) and then input that file to Alteryx and parse the data.
Some errors can be output using the message tool.
I'm sorry. How do you enable the log files?
@BautistaC888 There are a couple of options. You can either enable Engine logging: https://knowledge.alteryx.com/index/s/article/How-to-enable-Engine-Logs, or you can write the results window messages (same messages that are shown in the Engine logs) by configuring an event to either send an email or run a command if there are errors. This would include the error messages by default. Here are the instructions for configuring a workflow event:

@londonhanson 's method is what I typically do. Since you can write that log into an email, it's a handy trick to keeping an eye on your workflows. -Jay
