How can an admin receive alerts when a scheduled query fails to execute?

• A. Set up a Slack notification.
• B. Enable email sending logs.
• C. Add their Email Address in automation Runtime Error or Skipped Run Notification Settings.
• D. Disable scheduled queries.

Answer: (B)

Monitoring and alerting for a scheduled task hinges on having a reliable record of what happened during the run. Enabling email sending logs gives you a detailed view of all email sends and their outcomes, including any errors that occur when a scheduled automation runs. That visibility means you can quickly detect when something didn’t execute as expected, because failures will appear in the logs and you can use those records to alert or triage. In other words, you gain a durable source of truth about the automation’s activity, which is essential for spotting and responding to failed executions.

Slack notifications require setup and may not be consistently available or visible in all environments, and adding an email address to runtime error or skipped run notifications targets per-automation alerts without necessarily giving you a complete picture of the failure events. Disabling scheduled queries would prevent the process from running at all, which is the opposite of getting alerts for failures.
