Ops pager — when a run fails

The recovery lane: a nightly export fails on purpose (bad path), and the Error Trigger fires IN THE SAME RUN with the failure details — wire the recovery lane to a real pager or email. THE TEST FAILS BY DESIGN; look at the recovery lane's console output.

What’s inside

4 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`
Page on-call	Console	`utility.console`

Import it

Studio → Import — paste the JSON below (or the URL /docs/templates/ops-pager-when-a-run-fails.json).

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

import this workflow json into a new workflow named "Ops pager — when a run fails"

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.
