# Stop And Error

Documentation for the Stop And Error node in n8n, a workflow automation platform. Includes guidance on usage, and links to examples.

Use the Stop And Error node to display custom error messages, cause executions to fail under certain conditions, and send custom error information to error workflows.

## Operations <a href="#operations" id="operations"></a>

* Error Message
* Error Object

## Node parameters <a href="#node-parameters" id="node-parameters"></a>

Both operations include one node parameter, the **Error Type**. Use this parameter to select the type of error to throw. Choose between the two operations: **Error Message** and **Error Object**.

The other parameters depend on which operation you select.

### Error Message parameters <a href="#error-message-parameters" id="error-message-parameters"></a>

The Error Message Error Type adds one parameter, the **Error Message** field. Enter the message you'd like to throw.

### Error Object parameters <a href="#error-object-parameters" id="error-object-parameters"></a>

The Error Object Error Type adds one parameter, the **Error Object**. Enter a JSON object that contains the error properties you'd like to throw.
