How It Works
The workflow utilizes n8n's error trigger node to detect workflow failures, capturing critical error information. When a failure occurs, the system automatically generates an SMS notification through the Twilio node, sending detailed error context to designated team members. The process includes capturing error details, formatting the message, and transmitting it via SMS, ensuring immediate awareness of system issues. Additional nodes like sticky notes and stop-and-error mechanisms provide comprehensive error handling and documentation.
