Automatic Workflow Error Notifications via Gmail

What this template does Sends you an email (via Gmail) whenever any workflow that references this one fails. The message includes the workflow name/ID, execution URL, last node executed, and the error message.

Why it’s useful Centralizes error notifications so you notice failures immediately and can jump straight to the failed execution.

Prerequisites A Gmail account connected through n8n’s Gmail node credentials. This workflow set as the Error Workflow inside the workflows you want to monitor.

How it works Error Trigger starts this workflow whenever a linked workflow fails.
Gmail (Send → Message) composes and sends an email using details from the Error Trigger.

Notes Error workflows don’t need to be activated to work.
You can’t test them by running manually—errors must occur in an automatically run workflow (cron, webhook, etc.).
