Update Error Workflow
I spent a good deal of time trying to understand why the error trigger node wasn't working and after a lot of poking around in the forums, found this message from Harshil that it works / triggers only when the workflows are executed automatically. Not sure why this critical information is missing in the documentation. I can see a lot of questions in the forums regarding the "error trigger node" not working.
