Email diagnostics when a configured workflow fails.

Email diagnostics when a configured workflow fails.

## Setup

Connect Gmail and configure the recipient. In Open Flow, select the source workflows in **Receive a workflow failure**, publish and enable the error workflow. In n8n, assign this error workflow to each source workflow and activate it. Avoid assigning it to itself. Enable only one format.

## Behavior

An automatic failure sends a plain-text email with the workflow name and available diagnostics. Open Flow includes the run ID, error code and message, and any node ID, job ID and path supplied by its error event; it does not provide an execution URL or stack trace. n8n includes the execution URL, last node, error message and stack trace when available. Open Flow also reports indeterminate runs. Manual test runs do not represent automatic error dispatch.

Diagnostics may contain sensitive information; restrict the recipient and execution history. A failed or uncertain email may already have been delivered, so check Gmail before retrying.

## Changes to the source

*   Replace the placeholder recipient with configuration. Open Flow reports the diagnostics provided by its error event, while n8n retains the source URL and stack trace.
