How can I track failed flows in Excel?

Posted on by CW-23070243-0

I plan to record the results of all "flow" runs in Excel. If everything goes smoothly, Excel will record invoice information I need, and I hope it will record "failure" when a run fails.
Currently, my idea is to add an "if" condition in every step, but since there are many steps, this is too cumbersome.
Is there a simpler method?
Thank you.

Hi,

You're on the right track; you don't want to write an if statement after every step. What you can do is put your key actions into a Scope action and then add your add a row in a table action. This is setup as a configure run-after on failed or timed out. This way this works for every action inside your scope; if any of them fail or timeout, it will add a row as failed.

Thanks for your kind help.

But how to set up "run after" after a "Condition" ?

in the picture below, sometimes "Body" is empty it will cause error in "Condition" step. My idea is if the "body" is empty, execute the YES step, but it seems that leaving it blank after " is equals to" here does not work.

Hi,

Add the expression is equal to null for your body conditional check.

Hi,

This error is not related to the issue we are working on but rather the conditional row above. Her's what I recommend:

1) Mark this as a solution for the original question - how to write a condition to check if the attachment is an Excel file or not.

2) Create a new thread and ask for help with the AI contains text condition.
