Enabling Error Notifications
Open Workspace Settings
Navigate to Settings > Workspace > Notifications in the DocsAutomator dashboard.
How It Works
When error notifications are enabled:- If a document generation fails for any automation in your workspace, an email alert is sent to all configured recipients
- The alert includes details about the failure to help you diagnose the issue
- Your account email always receives notifications (cannot be removed)
- Additional recipient emails can be added or removed at any time
Managing Recipients
- Add: Type an email address and press Enter
- Remove: Click the x next to any additional email address
- Disable all: Toggle error notifications off to stop all alerts (this also clears additional recipients)
Error notifications are workspace-wide. Enabling them covers all automations in the workspace, not just individual ones.
Common Error Scenarios
Errors that trigger notifications include:| Error Type | Common Cause |
|---|---|
| Template not found | Google Doc template was deleted or permissions changed |
| Data source error | Airtable/Google Sheets connection expired or record not found |
| Rate limit exceeded | Too many document generation requests in a short period |
| Google API error | Google Docs API temporarily unavailable or quota exceeded |
| Authentication error | OAuth token expired and needs reconnection |
