In this example,When I run Test1, to purposely cause an error. The event OnLogError() is triggered automatically, and then the Log.Error() message is shown afterwards. Make sure you fully understand how Events are triggered.&nbsp;To send an email, follow the example shown in&nbsp;Sending Email From Scripts. Depending on your email system (SMTP), you might not be able to send an email using an external application. You have to test this though.&nbsp;You can then&nbsp;incorporate the above into your keyword tests.

What have you done so far?&nbsp;Do you understand what&nbsp;OnLogError Event does? And have you tried the example in&nbsp;Sending Email From Scripts?&nbsp;From what you have said last time "Please notice that I have low coding knowleadge", it's a bit tricky to explain.&nbsp;&nbsp;

I add the Event, and choose the OnLog Error Event

and then it creates a keyword test with "OnLogError_OnLogError", I add the call object method BUILT IN to use the SendEmail operation

but then what is the next step?

rraghvani&nbsp;I convert the keyword where I have the builtIn send email operation to script, and then I add the run script routine to call the script (BuiltIn Send email), but i didnt recieve the email...&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Also Im running a keyword test that I'm forcing to result on error execution to test the scenario of "OnLogError"

You have a lot of things happening here at the same time.
&nbsp;
To troubleshoot your email, I would create a very simple script that just sends an email. Make sure that your pipeline from TestComplete to email is set up properly and you can make that do what you intend.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Once that works you can add it in and see if you get what you want from the OnLogError.&nbsp; If not, then back up a step and see if you are actually generating the error that you expect.
&nbsp;
It's better to troubleshoot one thing at a time, bottom up.&nbsp;&nbsp;
