Hi,

I’ve set up an error handler for most of my flows and one of them triggers the error handler every time, but when I go to the dashboard and look at executions, I don’t see anything. No failed execution, no successful execution. This seems to be the only one that does this.

This is the message I get:

Message: There was a problem with the trigger node “Email Trigger (IMAP)”, for that reason did the workflow had to be deactivated

When I execute manually I don’t see this problem. The node is a community node and it could be the problem, but I don’t understand why there is no trace of the execution try. Also, despite the error message, my workflow remains active.

Evidently I’m self-hosted.

My question: how do I figure out what the problem is without an execution log in the dashboard?

Thanks,

L

Yes, and I also turned on the one right under, in case that was the problem but it doesn’t seem to be.

I updated my VM to a larger cluster. Let’s see if that was the problem.
