N8n Error Workflow Not Triggering on Workflow Failure

I’m working on a facet analysis workflow and have connected it to an error logger workflow. However, when I execute the facet workflow, the error logger workflow is not getting triggered.

I have already configured the error workflow by going to Settings → Error Workflow (to notify when this one errors), but it still doesn’t trigger.

Both workflows are published.

Could you help me understand what might be causing this issue? I’ve also attached screenshots of my workflow for reference.

Hi @Ayush_Singh2 Welcome!
you are running your flow manually, just publish the flow and then see if it triggers or not. (With published URL)

@Ayush_Singh2 double check that your error logger workflow actually starts with an Error Trigger node — not a manual trigger or webhook. that’s the most common reason it silently does nothing even when the settings are correct. here’s a minimal error logger you can import and set as error workflow:

plug your SMTP creds into the Send Email node and set the to/from addresses, then go back to your facet workflow settings and re-select this as the error workflow.

welcome to the n8n community @Ayush_Singh2
I’d also check whether the error is being raised intentionally by your Stop and Error1 node. In the screenshot, that node itself is failing with “error found”, which means n8n may be treating this as the designed end of the run rather than another unexpected node failure. I’d test by temporarily removing/bypassing that node and triggering a real node error elsewhere to see if the Error Workflow fires.

it’s working for me now , Thank you so much everyone :heart:
