Error Notification Email Workflow
The main function of this workflow is to implement automated error notifications by capturing error information from other workflows and sending emails in real-time, ensuring that relevant personnel are informed of issues as soon as they arise. It can record the names of failed workflows, execution links, error nodes, and error stacks, effectively enhancing response speed and problem-solving efficiency. This ensures the stable operation of automated processes and reduces business risks caused by undetected errors. It is suitable for use by developers and operations teams.
