Is it a good practice to use the TakeScreenShot in everyworkflow wherever it seems to be error occur. I want to know in the perspective of real time only. @Palaniyappan

Yes of course @balkishan

The reason is it would be very helpful when we want to know what caused the error and where the process got stuck and didn’t get proceeded
Moreover the user that means the client of use can be intimated with a mail of that screenshot so that they could either understand that the process got bottled only because of this error
So taking screenshots with that activity would be very helpful when it is placed in catch block of try catch activity

Hope this would help you

Fine Take screenshot activity gives us a output variable of type image @balkishan
Then we can use save image activity where pass the above obtained image variable as input and mention the file path where we want to save
But how we save that matters here
—before save image activity use a assign activity like this
Out_filepath = “yourfolderpath\Filename”+Now.ToString(“hh_mm”)+”.png”
Where out_filepath is a variable of type string
—while mentioning the file path to save we need to mention The above variable name as input
— and while send email with send outlook mail activity in the attach file mention the same above variable out_filepath as value in it

That’s all buddy you can send the file that we want to
Hope this would help you
