## The idea is:

I want to be able to handle errors, if the Rss Trigger node failed to execute. For this I need the node settings to include the “On error” section that most other nodes have.

## My use case:

I’m using the self hosted n8n Version 1.47.3  
I’m sometimes getting an error from the Rss Trigger node, not often, but it happens, it fails to execute.

## I think it would be beneficial to add this because:

It would allow error handling.

Hey @PvUtrix,

Typically trigger nodes don’t have error outputs as that can trigger an increase in executions for users that have a restricted amount. Have you tried using an error workflow instead?

I’m getting an error like this, no output is generated

 ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/n8n/original/3X/c/7/c7163895dfe53d2b712700ff2b81613e920c3604.png)

There is no “always ouput data” setting

How can I use the error workflow? I was trying to do this, but it’s not working, since no output is generated at all.

Have you tried checking for `is not empty` condition?

I’ll give it a try, thx

But it my workflow it didn’t even get to the if node, it stopped with an error on the trigger node.

Ah, Understood.
