Automate Error Notifications with Gmail Integration
detail.loadingPreview
Proactively manage your n8n workflows by receiving immediate email alerts for any errors. This automation ensures you're always informed about workflow failures, minimizing downtime and improving system reliability.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow automates the critical task of monitoring your workflow executions. When an error is detected, it seamlessly triggers an email notification to a designated recipient. The email provides comprehensive details about the failure, including the workflow name, specific error message, the last node that executed, a direct link to the execution for further investigation, and the complete stacktrace. This ensures rapid response to issues, significantly reducing potential disruptions and enhancing the overall stability and performance of your automated processes.
Key Features
- Instant Error Alerts: Receive immediate email notifications upon workflow execution failures.
- Detailed Error Reporting: Get comprehensive information including workflow name, error message, last executed node, execution URL, and stacktrace.
- Configurable Recipient: Easily specify who should receive these crucial alerts.
- Seamless Integration: Works out-of-the-box with n8n's error handling and Gmail.
How To Use
