Email notification if workflow fails

Hello. Perhaps this is already possible and I can't see it, but I'd love to have a feature where I can get sent an email if a workflow doesn't result in 'Success'.
I recently got an error with one of my workflows after it had been working fine other times. Probably the reason was because the computer did a restart to do a Windows update. I've now disabled it from doing that. But it would be reassuring knowing that if any of the workflows ever run into an issue that'd I'd be automatically notified.

Thanks!

Hey Ben,

there is a send email processor built in, you just have to configure a mail server in system configuration.
Have you overlooked this one or don't you know how to use it your workflow's error path?

Hey emcodem.

Yes I've succesfully used the send email processor. I just didn't know how to make an error path. I should have checked the wiki more deeply. I found this in the wiki which helped me to get it working: http://www.ffastrans.com/wiki/doku.php? ... r_handling

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Shall I delete this forum topic since it's already a feature?
