Ops pager — email on failure

FAILURE-ALERT PRESET: the Error Trigger's recovery lane sends an email (SMTP) with the failure details — import, fill the SMTP credential, done. The demo fails on purpose so the lane fires; the console mirrors the alert body.

What’s inside

5 nodes — every type links to its full reference page.

Step	Node	Type
Nightly export	Inject	`input.inject`
Export (fails)	Stop and Error	`error-handling.stop-and-error`
On failure	Error Trigger	`error-handling.error`
Email on-call	Send Email	`output.send-email`
Alert mirror	Console	`utility.console`

Import it

Studio → Import — paste the JSON below (or the URL /docs/templates/ops-pager-email-on-failure.json).

Or ask the AI Copilot with the JSON pasted after the phrase:

import this workflow json into a new workflow named "Ops pager — email on failure"

Any credentials the nodes need are ${credential.…} references — add them once in Admin → Credentials and the template picks them up. Nothing secret ships in a template.
