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.

To send an email, follow the example shown in 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.

You can then incorporate the above into your keyword tests.

What have you done so far?

Do you understand what OnLogError Event does? And have you tried the example in Sending Email From Scripts?

From what you have said last time "Please notice that I have low coding knowleadge", it's a bit tricky to explain.

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?

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...

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.
  
  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.
  
  Once that works you can add it in and see if you get what you want from the OnLogError. If not, then back up a step and see if you are actually generating the error that you expect.
  
  It's better to troubleshoot one thing at a time, bottom up.
