I would like to receive an email everytime a task fail. Sometimes, for some reason I don’t know why, some of my tasks fail to run. I would like to be notify when this happens so I can try to run it manually when needed. ---

I’ve never known one of my tasks fail. 🤔 I have had unexpected results when I’ve not setup the criteria correctly. 👨‍💻 I’d recommend reporting specifics to support for them to investigate as this is potentially worrying if scheduled tasks don’t run as planned. ---
