Hello,
I am trying to find a native solution in order to monitor the execution of a Phantom Playbook. In case one of the actions fail, or a specific message/data is returned by a custom function, does anyone a possibility to make a general/native configuration, so that an admin will receive an instant email message with the error/playbook that ran/ etc?
I am aware of the api 'error' and 'discontinue' methods, but it will mean to add this kind of checks at each step of the playbook ...
Greatly appreciate your ideas!

If you need instant then you will need to bake it into the playbook logic by checking the "status" output in a decision block after the action/function (you need to configure status output in function), and then "do something" if it fails. Worth doing for most actions anyway as best practise although I appreciate it may be time consuming, it's worth it in the long run.
Another option is to have a playbook scheduled to run every x mins that uses REST to search for all action failures and then provide a report.
action_run with filtering (/rest/action_run?_filter_status="failed") could be used for actions. Also consider a time and page limit on the rest call so you don't dedup. Options for filtering are here: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/SOARonprem/5.3.2/PlatformAPI/RESTQueryData
action run REST docs: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/SOARonprem/5.3.2/PlatformAPI/RESTRunAction
Custom functions are a bit harder as they don't report a status per playbook run so really you would need to handle the status output in a playbook for them, or turn them into app actions so the status output can be used.
If this helped, please feel free to add karma and/or mark as a solution.
Happy SOARing!

Thank you @phanTom - looks pretty much in line with what I expected - I will go with a hybrid version and use both sides of the solutions you mentioned. Regards
