Allow Email tool to send e-mails also when errors occurred in the workflow

[haraldharders]

The Email tool does not send out e-mails after an error occurred in the workflow. Since this usually is a good thing, it sometimes would be helpful being able to send out e-mails also in case of errors.

In particular, I want to send out an e-mail with a detailed and formatted custom error message.

Thus, please add a check box "Also send mail in case of errors" which is off by default.

Side note: The Event "Send mail After Run With Errors" does not work for me because it is too inflexible. Just sending out the OutputLog is not helpful because the error message might be hidden after hundreds of rows.

I agree. I recognize Alteryx has Events to add an email after run with errors. However, I cannot attach a table to it. Only the Email tool seems to allow for that. I need this tool to run a table for a completeness check but it won't send unless the workflow has no errors. It's connected to a branch that cannot fail. My errors are mostly attributed to the API pull in a macro which is normal when encountering issues with api pulls. Hence the completeness check.

Email is more convenient, but I'm instead having the workflow update a tab in an excel file on sharepoint.
