I have several workflows I’ve set up with the below settings and have errored a couple of times, but this flow is not running. If I try to active the error workflow it says there are no workflow triggers that require activation. ![Screenshot 2023-01-25 at 7.39.12 AM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/n8n/original/3X/8/2/826c6eddfb5bfea3cc9fdd9cf0ae36c4ad6db2f3.png) ## Information on your n8n setup - **Running n8n via [n8n.cloud]:** ---

Hi @Philip_Wiggins Are the workflow and error workflow owned by the same user? The log should show you an error with the authorization if that isn’t the case. ---

Different workflow owners, but I don’t see anything saying that it couldn’t authenticate, but after you mentioned that I looked into the settings of the error workflow and found this. It was set to `Workflows Created by Me` so hopefully this resolves the issue. ![Screenshot 2023-01-25 at 7.51.31 AM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/n8n/original/3X/9/6/966b50130d0ad256226ca9f0223121239745404b.png) ---

Awesome, didnt even know that setting existed. Very interesting. would love to hear about the result. (must have read over it every time I opened this settings menu) ---

So apparently using that option does NOT work. This is the Setting for my flow that had an error ![Screenshot 2023-02-02 at 8.24.23 AM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/n8n/original/3X/b/6/b652569c2d4fdf20e196733cced5ee364c9b8dd7.png) In my previous comment, the error flow itself is set to be called by any workflow, but the flow is still NOT being triggered. It’s a simple workflow and works if I manually trigger it. Also in previous comment. ---

Thank you Philip! I was able to reproduce the problem using the information provided and have added it to our engineering backlog for a fix. ---

Just cross-posting here from [Specific Error workflow does not work - #8 by MutedJam](http://community.n8n.io/t/specific-error-workflow-does-not-work/21687/8). A fix for this problem should come out with the next release 🙂 ---
