Testing for when I can't connect to a custom API

Hello all,

I have created a custom connector which makes a request to my website (a Docassemble server) periodically to check that it is alive. My Flow simply runs the connector every 10 minutes and I have a Condition to push an alert to my mobile if the body of the response doesn't contain certain text.

I found out today that I haven't designed this properly. If my server goes down, it's the connector that fails. I get a 500 error. How can I raise an alert in my Flow for when my connector fails?

Here's an example of a failed run.

That did it. Thanks! Now, just waiting for my server to crash to make sure it works 🙂

You could configure the notification action to run after the custom action has run failed with steps below:
