Workflow Notification Bug

I have a workflow that runs subwork flows. In the main workflow, each of the subwork flow tasks is set to ‘skipTask’ on failure. The tooltip notes that the task will be marked as COMPLETED_WITH_ERRORS. However when this happens all I can see for status is ‘Completed’ and no email notification is being set out.

What I want is for my workflows to continue to run if a specific portion fails, but I still want the email notification to be sent to notify me that there is an issue.

@Zebulon Bell As per the documentaion here, the current email notification system only covers

  • Workflow execution failed

  • Workflow execution timed out

  • Trigger attempt failed

There is no built-in notification for COMPLETED_WITH_ERRORS. As a workaround you can add a function task at the end of your workflow that checks results and sends an alert. However, note that:

  • All upstream tasks would need skipTask on failure so the workflow reaches the notification step.

  • It won't cover failures that prevent the workflow from reaching that final step.

You can also submit a product idea here, if you would like to have this feature available.
