Note: this quick start guide is of the latest version of the pilot but does not contain the features that will be in the official launch. See our product roadmap for the upcoming features to the pilot. If you'd like to be added to the pilot then let us know via the in-app chat.

Creating your flow error monitoring job

From the main Gearset sidebar menu under Error monitoring category, click on Flow error monitoring.

  • From the welcome screen, click on Begin setup

  • Choose the Salesforce org you want to monitor for flow errors and click next

  • Follow the setup instructions to use the generated Gearset email inbox that will be monitored for flow errors

  • Click Finish setup

We recommend adding additional recipients to ensure that Apex Exception emails are still received.

During setup, you will be prompted to update the Apex Exception Email recipient to use the Gearset-generated email address. Both Flow and Apex error emails will be sent to the Gearset inbox.

You can add an existing Salesforce user to the recipient list, or enter extra recipients in the External Email Addresses field, separated by a semi-colon.

Adding Slack and MS Teams notifications

Once a job has been created you can add Slack and MS Teams notifications to receive a channel alert when a Flow error occurs. See our adding Slack and MS Teams notifications documentation for step-by-step instructions.

Flow error results

Gearset will automatically begin to monitor the inbox for any flow error emails from that point onwards displaying the reported exception, number of users impacted and the total number of instances. You can click on View errors to see the individual error exceptions.
