Learn how to adjust the workflow error settings.

When you Run a Sheetgo workflow or update it automatically, the automations inside a workflow update sequentially, in a cascade format, i.e., from top to bottom.

This means that your data is updated in a logical order, which is especially important if your workflow contains multiple automations between the same files. To change the sequence of updates, simply change the order of the automations.

If one automation in your workflow fails, this will have a domino effect on the rest of your automations. It's extremely important to know when any failure occurs so that you can identify the cause and resolve the issue as quickly as possible.

If any of your automation updates do fail, you can easily fix this by heading to Failure settings.

Stop execution upon error

If your workflow fails to update automations, you can set up a "Failure Setting" for the workflow. This will pause the automation updates and notify you via email at the time you specify.

You can access the Execution settings window by selecting the gear icon located right above your automations list, in the top-right corner of the Workflow view.

Once you click, simply enable the checkbox and click on Save to activate this feature on your workflow.

Activating this alert will stop the workflow from completing its run process and give an alert so you can check the issue before trying to run it again.
