Fail Trigger

Starts a separate error-handling workflow when any task in a parent workflow fails.

Purpose

Use this trigger as the entry point of a dedicated failure-handling workflow. When a task in another workflow encounters an error, the engine routes execution here and injects context about what failed. This allows you to build centralised error responses — such as sending an alert, logging the failure, or rolling back a previous step — without cluttering the main workflow logic. The trigger always runs successfully so that downstream error-handling tasks can proceed.

Inputs

This trigger has no configurable inputs.
