Outlook Step for email on Failure didn't activate after step failed
Hi,
The connections between the activities work like an AND operator. In your case, this means that all four activities should fail in order to get the Email Alert activity triggered. If you only want to have one Email activity, you can take a look at this article: https://datasharkx.wordpress.com/2024/02/17/error-logging-and-the-art-of-avoiding-redundant-activities-in-msft-fabric-data-pipelines/. This Fabric thread also mentions this article and discusses similar scenarios: https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Data-Pipeline/How-to-send-failure-email-in-pipeline-without-connecting-to-each/m-p/3747642

Oh! Thank you! I would have expected them to work like an OR operator. This is extremely helpful. Thank you so much! Marking it as solved.
