Error trigger#

You can use the Error trigger node to create error pathways. When another linked Pathway fails, this node gets details about the failed Pathway and the errors, and runs the error workflow.

Usage#

  1. Create a new workflow, with the Error Trigger as the first node.
  2. Give the Pathway a name, for example Error Handler.
  3. Select Save.
  4. In the Pathway where you want to use this error workflow:
    1. Select Options > Settings.
    2. In Error workflow, select the Pathway you just created. For example, if you used the name Error Handler, select Error handler.
    3. Select Save. Now, when this Pathway errors, the related error Pathway runs.

Note the following:

  • If a Pathway uses the Error trigger node, you don't have to activate the workflow.
  • If a Pathway contains the Error trigger node, by default, the Pathway uses itself as the error workflow.
  • You can't test error pathways when running pathways manually. The Error trigger only runs when an automatic Pathway errors.

You can use the Stop And Error node to send custom messages to the Error trigger.
