Build an error monitor workflow

A fragile scheduled job keeps crashing because it tries to process a field that doesn't exist. The team wants a dedicated monitor that logs every failure with context — not just a red execution badge.

You'll import the fragile starter, then build a separate workflow with an Error Trigger, Edit Fields for extracting error details, a Data Table insert into an error_log table, and a confirmation node. Finally you'll register that monitor as the Error Workflow on the fragile flow and activate it to trigger a real failure.
