# Stop And Error

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.
