I've been experimenting with some error handling in my Power Automate flows, because much of the time, the errors that occur are ones that can be ignored, and I still want the rest of the flow to run. Typically, I've been using a model where after an action that has a non-negligible probability of failure, I have two parallel branches: one that runs if the action was successful and one that runs if the action failed. For simple cases, this has been working.
However, in flows where the failure can occur within a scope or other control block, the failure of any action within that block causes the entire block to fail, even with that error handling inside. Take this example...
The action outside of the block is configured to run if its "parent" branches are successful or skipped. But when anything inside that scope block fails, the whole scope is marked as failed, so that following action doesn't run. You can see in the image that the error handling itself actually worked; the "failed" branch ran, and the "successful" branch was skipped. So, how do I make this situation report the scope as a whole as successful?
