However, in some cases, a scheduled task or service consuming excessive resources might trigger a surge of errors.\n\nTo address this, we can log all errors but limit alerts to a maximum of one notification every 5 minutes.\n\n## What this workflow does\n\nThis workflow can be configured to receive error events, or you can integrate it **before your own error-handling logic.**  \n\nIf used as the **primary error handler**, note that this flow will **only add a database log entry** and take no further action. You’ll need to add your own alerts (e.g., email or push notifications). Below is an example of a notification setup I prefer to use.  \n\nAt the end, there’s an **error cleanup** option. This feature is particularly useful in development environments.  \n\nIf you already have an error-handling workflow, you can call this one as a **sub-workflow**. Its final steps include cleanup logic to reset the execution state and terminate the workflow.\n\n## Setup\n\n**Verify all Postgres nodes and credentials when using the 'Error Handling Sample'**\n\n## How to adjust it to your needs\n\n1) You can set this workflow as a sub-workflow within your existing error-handling setup.\n\n2) Alternatively, you can add the \"Error Handling Sample\" at the end of this workflow, which sends email and push notifications.\n\nConfiguration Requirements:\n\n⚠️ You must create a database table for this to work!\n\n\n\nDDL of this sample:\n\ncreate table p1gq6ljdsam3x1m.\"N8Err\"\n(\n    id         serial\n        primary key,\n    created_at timestamp,\n    updated_at timestamp,\n    created_by varchar,\n    updated_by varchar,\n    nc_order   numeric,\n    title      text,\n    \"URL\"      text,\n    \"Stack\"    text,\n    json       json,\n    \"Message\"  text,\n    \"LastNode\" text\n);\n\nalter table p1gq6ljdsam3x1m.\"N8Err\"\n    owner to postgres;\n\ncreate index \"N8Err_order_idx\"\n    on p1gq6ljdsam3x1m.\"N8Err\" (nc_order);\n\nby Davi Saranszky Mesquita\nhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/mesquitadavi/"
