Flow error monitoring provides the ability to deliver real-time notifications to Slack and MS Teams channels using custom notification rules that you configure and control. This ensures that critical issues, important to you, are detected and can be addressed quickly.

Gearset will automatically populate the Flow name and Flow element information for you if you wish to use it to help configure your rule. You can delete these if you wish to create a time based notification only.
Configure your rules based on email body contents only, a volume/frequency based rule, or a combination of email content and frequency.

When the notification rule settings are met, Gearset will send a notification to the channel that you've configured which includes the Flow name, Flow element and problem type. You can see more details of the error in Gearset by clicking the View in Gearset link.
