In an automation with multiple logic branches, I like to end the Otherwise step by sending an email to myself with details to be research to find out why things didn’t go as expected. I find that works well most of the time. It also prevents the automation from outright failing.

But when things are busy and the automation runs frequently, it is harder to find the exact run that failed. Is there any way to include the automation runtime in that Send an email step? I don’t see any way to get at those details.

You should be able to add the Runtime by selecting Use Data From-->A Specific Time-->Actual Run Time.

Thank you, ​@DisraeliGears01! I didn’t see that until your screenshot illustrated it perfectly.
