Hey 
I am trying to set up an Error Workflow.
I used the “Error Trigger” and then an action to send me a message in case of an error.
I also configured this Workflow as an error workflow in the settings of another worklow.
Unfortunately I can not activate the error workflow.
I get an error message saying that “Only workflows which have trigger or webhook nodes can be activated.” (see image)
Can you see, what I am doing wrong here?
Thank you very much
Error workflows can not and do not have to be activated. You just have to make sure to set it as error workflow on other workflows.
Here a blog post:
Hey @Davin!
When using the Error Trigger node, you don’t have to activate the workflow. Error Trigger | Docs
Thank you! I overlooked this small but very essential sentence.
" As opposed to other workflows with a trigger node, you won’t have to activate the workflow when using the Error Trigger node. Once a workflow fails, this node automagically gets details about the failed workflow and the error workflow gets triggered."
