Automation Workflow - Error Check

ZachTenHaken

Hello!

I am setting up an approval workflow and have run into some questions. 

 

Example:

Trigger: If "Status" is set to "Sent for Approval"

Action: Send approval to "Final Approver" 

 

Now, it's a very simple workflow, but, if my "Final Approver" is not populated, or there is a typo, etc. Is there a way for it to automatically notify me that the workflow "failed" or something of that nature to inform me that the approval was never sent and i have an error i need to correct? 

 

Thanks!!

Zach

You should be receiving an email when the workflow fails to notify a recipient. If you are and that's not ideal for you I'd love to know more. If you're not receiving the email, I'd love to know more too! I'd be happy to walk through your use case with you to learn more and see how we can improve here. Feel free to set up time with me using this link.
