Send email when Excel is locked by user

Hello,

 

I have workflow that runs daily and appends data to a excel sheet in a shared drive. I want to update the workflow to send an email when the excel is locked by the user as we don't want to miss the data. Is there a way to get this done?

Hi @msve 

 

File lock is an error. We can configure an event to trigger mail when there is error in workflow.

Hope this helps : )
