# On Abort

The **onAbort** task receives an `onAbort` event from the Worker Manager and emits outputs that allow custom logic to be executed for aborting the current Job.
Based on the result of that custom logic, the task receives either a `Success` or `Failure` input and sends the corresponding result back to the Worker Manager.

## Behavior

The **On Abort** task must be used with the Worker Manager, which initiates it through the `onAbort` event.
After the event is received, custom logic can be inserted in the workflow, and then connected to the `Success` or `Failure` inputs to determine the outcome.
