Hi,

My error trigger flow is not being executed after an error.

You can see the history of the flow executed in the screenshot attached.

And my error trigger flow

Am I doing something wrong ?

Did you set the Error Workflow as Error Workflow of that workflow?

Here is also a blog post about that topic:
