Notifications for errors
I have a daily automation that I would like to get a notification if it encounters an error. I do not see that option anywhere in the Automation configuration. Is that possible elsewhere? -------...
Forum Discussion
That would be great. How do I make that happen?
I created the app and wrote the automation. It failed and I did not get a notification. I only knew about the failure when I went in to check it and it indicated "1" in the error column. I don't want to have to manually check every day so how do I tell it I want to be notified on error?

Hi Chris,
What was the error that you received when your automation failed?

- When I went in to check on the automations for the app, I saw the Automations list that said:
Run count last 7 days: 7
Error count last 7 day: 1
There are no more errors at this point because I fixed the issue, but I was trying to figure out how to get notified if an error ever occurs.

------------------------------- Hi Chris,
In general Automations owners do get error messages when an automation fails to complete and an error occurs. Since this is a system message sent out automatically it can at times get caught in people's spam filters or email clients like Mimecast and not end up in the same place as the mail they usually get from QB. If you check in with the Care team they can also look into the specific error and confirm if an email was sent, there are a few edge cases where specific automation errors don't send notifications, usually tied closely to authentication errors or downtimes.

------------------------------- Is it possible for more than just the person who created the automation to get the error message(s)? If I'm OOO, I'd like for others to receive, be able to review and hopefully, fix these. It's especially important since I'm going to be retiring this Friday and at least one of the automations was created by me (so I'm the only person getting the notifications).
