When a flow fails, I want to receive straight away an email to notify me so I can take appropriate actions immediately. Let’s say I have this flow:

So I want an email to be sent when “run script” or “run script 1” will fail, for that, I will have to use the “run after” option. First, I will add the “send an email” action:

In its “settings”, I will find the “run after” option:

By clicking on “select actions”, I will add the “run script” action:

I will configure them like that:

My final flow:

NOTE: just above the “send an email” action, there are some coloured dots corresponding to the “run after” configuration

I will explain the logic behind. The condition between the scripts is AND not OR meaning that in order to trigger the notification, I need that in the email, each script meets the correct result so:

• To send an email when the first script fails, the result of “run script” is “failed” AND “run script 1” is “skipped”
• To send an email when the second script fails, the result of “run script” is “successful” AND “run script 1” is “failed”

With this configuration, I will not know which script has failed. To remediate, put a “send an email” action after each script:

For each email, configure like that and for “run script 1” like that:

email configuration	run script 1 configuration

NOTE: don’t forget to put in the “title” and/or in the “description” of the email, the name of the script

The logic for this configuration is the following:

• To send an email when the first script fails, the result of “run script” is “failed”
• To send an email when the second script fails, the result of “send an email (V2)” is “skipped” and “run script 1” is “failed”
