Send email notifications to Data Mesh config owners when a config is broken

I'm relatively new to Data Mesh, so feel free to point me in the right direction - but apparently one of my configurations was broken and I did not receive any notification that it was not working properly. I was notified by an end user that it was broken which caused me to investigate.

Especially for paying a premium for Data Mesh functionality, it seems like an oversight that config owners are not notified outside of the Data Mesh app when a configuration isn't working properly.

Samartsheet will send emails to workflow creators when workflows are broken - why would the same functionality not be applied to Data Mesh?

@jprovo Now, I need to go check my DataMesh and Data Shuttle workflows.

@jprovo227 @Meg Y both DataMesh and Data Shuttle will email workflow owners when they fail! It looks like the DataMesh workflow in question threw a warning but continued to run.

Hi Danielle,

The only way that the items at the top of the log had success was after I manually re-mapped the fields. The field mapping broke but there was no notification, and the configuration wasn't pushing any data. So I guess if that's technically not broken, I don't know what is. And there was no email to notify me that there was any "warning" that repeated for 2 days and didn't push data.

Should I start a new thread to clarify that admins would like to be notified of "warnings"? Or can we agree that it's pretty clear that we would like a direct email notification when it doesn't work properly, regardless of what conditions trigger a warning or failure?

Thank you! I'll pass along that feedback.
