Purpose:Automatically notify specified recipients when a scheduled event (SE) fails, with the error details included.
Implementation Plan:
1. Create a Scheduler Email Settings Entity

CopyEdit
Entity: SchedulerEmailSetting Attributes: - SchedulerName (String) - RecipientEmail (String) - IsActive (Boolean)
Optional: Add fields like CC, Threshold, Environment if needed.
2. Wrap Scheduler Logic with Error Handling
Use a try-catch structure in the microflow.
On exception, capture the error message and call a Send Error Email sub-microflow.

Try → Main Scheduler Logic Catch → Log error + Call SendEmailOnFailure(SchedulerName, $latestError)
3. Send Error Email Sub-Microflow
Look up SchedulerEmailSetting by SchedulerName.
If IsActive = true, send an email with:
Scheduler name
Timestamp
Error message
Optional: stack trace, last successful run, link to logs
4. Admin Page to Manage Emails
Allow admin users to:
Add/edit email recipients per scheduler
Activate/deactivate notifications
Test the alert system manually
