I can see how I can include the Active Job in emails, but not the Active Task. When a task fails, I'd like for the notification email to include the task name that failed.

Thanks,

Perhaps we could add LastTask Variable or similar. Until then you have two options:

1. Set the Notification on the Task instead of Job
2. point out the Task explicitly (with Id)

Just to clarify, do you mean create a custom notification email that names the task explicitly, or is there a way to reference the Active task through a variable?

You have the following options:

1. use Active as Id in a Variable. This is only currently possible from a Task - not a Job
2. if you want to reach a Task Variable for a Job you need to use the internal id for that (you will find the Id when browsing the Variables window)

Our suggestion was that we added a LastTask Variable or similar, that can access the last task that was run in the Job.

Ah excellent, that works. I did not realize I could use Active as Id for Tasks.
Thanks!

I might be going crazy, but can't you just use "{TASK(Active|Name)}" as a variable? I'm pretty sure that worked for me, but I've not got access to my VisualCron install at the moment to verify...
