Hello, I have had some flow that got deactivated automatically by an overflow (the corresponding device was disconnected which triggers a loop). While it’s ok that the flow is deactivated, how can I set a notification other than the timeline to inform me ? ---

It is not clear what your question is: 1. - How to detect a flow is diabled 2. - How to detect a message has appeared in the time line 3. - How to alert a person with some thing else then a time line message ---

1. The flow has been automatically disabled. I need to be notified (other than having a silent notification in the timeline) ---
