Hello All, Does anyone know how to send a notification that a scheduled task has failed? Respectfully, Utah ---

Data Directive in the SysTask table perhaps? ---

How easy is that! Kicking myself over here! 😑 ---

What do you think about enabling data directives for that table though? Would it slow other tasks down? ---

Should be fine just do it async ---

Would you do an in-transaction or standard data directive? It seems that the temporary table ttSysTask only shows tasks in a PENDING status and I need the ERROR status which is after the fact… ---

Standard for emailing. ---

That part makes sense, but how would you get the status of a completed task? It seems the ttSysTask table only has PENDING tasks, would I then need to LINQ into the Db.SysTask table to find the final status of the task ? ---

When the task is updated to ERROR it should go through the Data Trigger… (I hope)? Is that not the case? ---

It doesn’t seem to be the case. Even when I query the Db.SysTask table it still says pending. ---

Maybe should do a method directive? Do you see any downfalls to that? ---

Pending means something is up with your Task Agent and the report/process has not been run yet. The TaskStatus column with get changed to ERROR if the report/process fails. ---

Thanks, yeah I am not concerned with the pending status, I would just like the final status after it has been ran. Respectfully, Utah ---

There is no method directive for this. ---

It likely won’t get called. I don’t think they use that specific BO to update the tasks… But give it a shot. ---

![settaskstatus](https://epiusers.help/uploads/default/original/2X/c/c2594bbe8b7d5dcd411b683b0495317ebe44f569.JPG) I found one method under the SysTask BO that updates the task status for a pending task. They were quite detailed when they named this method. ---

@josecgomez I can use that method’s variable (sysTaskNum) to retrieve the matching row from the Db.SysTask table which allows me to filter for the scheduled task that I am looking for using SysTask.AgentSchedNum == xMyAgentSchedNum. Would you suggest running a post processing method directive as asynchronous as well? Would you suggest using this method directive in the first place? ---

If that Method is actually being called then you are golden, post processing async is your best friend. ---
