# Enable Failure Notifications

Your workflow may experience an error, it happens and it can be fixed. Turning on your failure notifications allows you to stay on top of any errors and troubleshoot them quickly. Failure can occur for multiple reasons and the [Logs will give more details on each failure](/workflow-activity/logs.md).

Also, you don't have to be in the troubleshooting business alone! Notifications can be sent to several team members by adding their email addresses to the workflow's notifications settings.

You can turn on **Notifications** and add emails in the **Dashboard** tab of your workflow. Either select the notifications box to the right of your workflow activity or **Manage Workflow**. On the Notifications tab, turn on notifications and enter the email addresses to be notified.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.getmesa.com/best-practices/enable-failure-notifications.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
