Email notifications for failed process flow runs

Introduction

You can configure a process flow to trigger email notifications in the event that a process flow runs and fails. This is a two-stage process:

• Add the required email recipients to a notification group

• Update settings for your process flow(s)

If you're not sure how to approach a process flow that's failed, see our Process flow run failures troubleshooting guide.
