In some cases you may want to setup a "global error handling" system, so that every time a job fails, you will be notified about this incident through email. A very common example where this feature could prove useful, is if WinAutomation is installed in a server where you do not have access on a daily basis. If for some reason, any of your jobs fails to complete successfully, WinAutomation will automatically send an email to the address that you specify, with the name of the job that failed, the time when the error occurred and a short description of the error.

In order to enable the "Send Email" behavior of the "global error handling" system, you will have to select “Tools - Options” in WinAutomation’s console window and then go to the “Error Handling” tab. The option that you will have to enable is: “Send Email”.

Notice, that in order for this feature to work, you will have to set the SMTP server details (Tools - Options - SMTP Server tab). If you want to use the SMTP server for your Gmail account, you can see a related article that explains the settings needed, here.
