| | # Workflow 3: Monitoring workflow errors |
| |
|
| | Last but not least, let's help Nathan know if there are any errors running the workflow. |
| |
|
| | To accomplish this task, create an Error workflow that monitors the main workflow: |
| |
|
| | 1. Create a new workflow. |
| | 2. Add an **Error Trigger node** (and execute it as a test). |
| | 3. Connect a **Discord node** to the **Error Trigger node** and configure these fields:<br/> |
| |
|
| | * **Webhook URL**: The Discord URL that you received in the email from n8n when you signed up for this course. |
| | * **Text**: "The workflow `{workflow name}` failed, with the error message: `{execution error message}`. Last node executed: `{name of the last executed node}`. Check this workflow execution here: `{execution URL}` My Unique ID: " followed by the unique ID emailed to you when you registered for this course. |
| |
|
| | Note that you need to replace the text in curly brackets `{}` with expressions that take the respective information from the Error Trigger node.<br/> |
| | |
| | 4. Execute the Discord node. |
| | 5. Set the newly created workflow as the **Error Workflow** for the main workflow you created in the previous lesson. |
| |
|
| | The workflow should look like this: |

| | * What fields does the **Error Trigger node** return? |
| | * What information about the execution does the **Error Trigger node** return? |
| | * What information about the workflow does the **Error Trigger node** return? |
| | * What's the expression to reference the workflow name? |
