I keep getting these "Something Went Wrong" emails from Airtable when my automation fails, but there's no information in the email.

Is there any way to customize these emails to include more information? It's getting pretty convoluted to dig into the automation error, save the Record ID or other info, go back and find it in my base, etc, etc, etc.

TIA,

ML

If you use a scripting step you could wrap your script in a try-catch block and set custom errors in the catch, Airtable should then report the same to you.

HI @FarioConsulting ,

Thanks for your response, could you clarify a what a "try-catch block"? I haven't worked with scripting much, but would be very interested in the solution.

Thanks
