# /error/report \[POST\]

## Description

Report an error to the appropriate person.

This service allows system errors to be sent by email to a configurable address. The address is not necessarily the address of an existing member and can be an address for a support person.

### Configuration

For this service to be functional, ensure that the `errorReportAddress` property is defined in the default [Group Properties](../../guide/configuration/properties/group_properties.md).

## Parameters

| Name | Description | Required | Type | Default |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| content | The content to be reported, usually a stack trace and/or some system information at time of error  | yes | string |  |
| notify-async | Whether emails are sent asynchronously (for slow email servers) | no | boolean | `false` |

## Permission

The user must be authenticated.

## Response

The XML acknowledges that the message was sent:

```xml
<error-report report-sent="true" />
```

Or in JSON:

```json
{
  "reportSent":"true"
}
```

## Error Handling

No specific errors expected for this service.
