Configure Workflow Settings
Follow these steps to configure global settings for your workflow, such as environment variables and failure notifications.
Navigate to the Settings icon, located in the header of the canvas. A new window will appear, containing the following sections:
- Environment Variable
- To manage reusable, editable data without altering your workflow's logic, navigate to the "Environment Variable" section and click the + icon to create a new variable that you intend to modify later in the flow. You must define the following:
Label: A unique name for the variable
Data type: The type of data the variable will hold
Value: An initial default value for the variable.
- To manage reusable, editable data without altering your workflow's logic, navigate to the "Environment Variable" section and click the + icon to create a new variable that you intend to modify later in the flow. You must define the following:
Note: Environment Variables must be defined here before they can be used with components like the Variable Assigner, which references these variables by label for setting or updating their values during runtime.
- Notification Settings
To receive a notification when an error occurs in the flow, turn the Flow Error Notification toggle ON.
Additional fields will appear where you must provide recipient details (e.g., email addresses, SQS Send Message).
When an error occurs, the recipient receives a standardized template response that provides critical metadata for incident management and debugging. The template includes:
Flow Name: Identifies the specific workflow that failed.
Workspace Name: The workspace in which the workflow resides.
Transaction ID: A unique identifier for the failed execution instance.
Created By: The user or service that initiated the workflow.
Timestamp: The exact time of the failure.
Error Message: A detailed description of the root cause of the error.
