Run script when systemd service fails

2

I'm running Debian 8 on a server.

How do I run a bash script if a systemd controlled service fails to start or restart?

Similarly if a service suddenly stops and cannot continue. In effect I want to run a script no matter how the service fails.

I can't comment but...

Have you tried using OnFailure= in the [Unit] section?
