How to email exception logs at the end of robot run

Email logs only if there was an exception at any point in the run. I only want this for a specific robot, not all robots under management console. I know there is an option under management console, but that emails for every robot and every log.I don't want that. Thanks

Solution

  • Add a try step as the very first action of your robot. At the lower branch, add any action to log your error (write file, send email):

    try

    Configure each action that may fail as follows:

    error handling

    The special robot property Robot.executionErros will hold the relevant error message. Here's an example:

    expression configuration

    That being said, I would rather rely on Kofax RPA's logging capabilities - any error gets logged to the logging database. You can then use another robot to get those entries and email send messages. This allows you to use a single robot for sending out email notifications instead of adding above steps to each one of them.
