How can you trigger a notification upon an automated scheduled job failing?

I have a Flow that needs to alert the end user when an automated job fails to run. Is there a way to configure this?

Hi there,

One solution that may work for your needs is utilizing a Send Email step within the job Flow. Upon reaching an exception, an email can be sent to a user that notifies the end user that an automated job has failed. 

Here is some documentation on the Send Email step:

In addition, you can include a Log step on the exception path that captures the error message associated with the failing of the automated job.

Here is some documentation on the Log step:

Hope this helps!
