# Flow run data retention, logging, and error notifications

All automation flows can be configured with regards to how long data is saved for debugging: **The range is from 0 to 90 days**. 0 means the **data is not saved at all** and should only be used for properly tested automation flows as there is no way to follow what happened. Any number between 0 and 90 determines the number of days until which all debugging data of a flow run is deleted.

There is a default setting on the company which is the **default for all flows unless the flow data deletion time is set on an individual flow basis**. Once the flow data retention is set on the flow, it overwrites the setting of the account (company)-level.

## Logging all steps

By default only the **first three iteration** of a loop will be logged and be visible in the flow debugger.

You can log every loop iteration by turning the setting on in the flow-settings upon clicking *edit* on a flow in the flow builder:

This will only apply to all future flow runs.

## Error notifications

You can set up notifications in case of errors on a per-flow basis by going to the flow settings and entering your email address into the respective field:

{% hint style="info" %}
You will only receive notifications when the flow's status is set to **live**
