How would you do it from the command line without Jenkins? Do that same thing from an `sh` step, a `bat` step, or a `powershell` step.

Declarative Pipeline has the [`post` section](https://www.jenkins.io/doc/book/pipeline/syntax/#post) that can perform specific actions when its associated step fails. Scripted Pipeline can catch exceptions and perform actions after those exceptions.
