How to get notification for the error in each step of the flow

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 19

I've made notification to get an email if WF has failed, skipped or timed out and it works fine after "Each form" step.

How to make the same for the first two steps in my case below? 

Another question is how to even simulate an error for the first two steps:

 

Step 1

Step 2

Complete WF with simulated error but only for the "Each form" step:

Just wanted to be sure that complete WF is checked for the errors and notification is triggered for the each one.

    @creativeopinion please see my new post "How to get notified if WF is not triggered" to check the last error.

    Tnx for advise but I will live apply to each for now as it works.

    @mmar0605 What is the error you are getting. As mentioned in my first response, you don't need the Apply to Each (Each Form in your case) action to loop through the list of responses. The When a new response is submitted trigger returns only one response.

    Looping through each attachment:

    @mmar0605 Can you expand your EachForm action? Are you looping through Each Form or Each Attachment?

     

    Since you are using the When a new response is submitted, an Apply to Each action isn't required to loop through each form—you are only ever returning a single form.

    The best thing to do is put all your actions in a scope, and then catch the error from the scope. That way if any item fails the exception will be caught.

    Though FYI you can't exception handle the trigger, as that will simply not run if there is an exception with it.
