How to get a trigger from recipe function?

[bhavesh-patel]

How can we know that if recipe function called from a parent function is completed all it's job? Is there any trigger we can use to see if recipe function has completed all jobs so we can trigger an email like all jobs are completed.

If somebody has done it, please let us know.

Thanks in advance.

Write the log/error message and relevant info to a database or a message queue, and then do something with the queue, like re-process them, or do whatever needs to be done when you encounter an error.

Instead of logger you can use email to intimate with the error details

This is old thread but interesting one. Here's how I would solve this issue this today: 

Context: You have parent recipe calling child recipes (async) so it wont return data from child. You want to know if all the child calls have been completed. 

I believe RecipeOps Connector by workato can help writing optimized recipe for this. (heres the api i would recommend https://docs.workato.com/connectors/recipeops/actions/search-job-history.html#recipeops-search-job-h...) 

One solution could be in line of having a scheduled job to check failed, pending jobs and using "Calling job ID" attribute to understand whats completed. You can maintain some state of Parent Job Ids in Lookup Table for quick access.
