Where Does The "Failed" Message in the Terminate Action Return?

Posted on by Xperia

If I set the Status of a Terminate action to "Failed", I am able to enter an error code and a message. If I enter an error code and/ or message, where will this information return? E.g. if a flow is set to terminate after duration X, and duration X passes and the flow terminates, where do I direct users so that they can see why their flow has failed - i.e. the message I've entered in the Terminate control, "Flow timed out"?

Hi @Xperia ,

The Terminate Action is to stop the execution of a Logic App run.

So you can only check the Failed code and/ or message in the running result(Run History).

I think I'm missing something - in the Run History window I only see the status (e.g. Running/ Failed/ Cancelled), when the flow was run, and for how long it's been running. If I select a failed flow in the Run History window, I see the start time, duration and status, and the same if I click into See All in the Run History window. In neither the Run History window nor by clicking into a failed flow do I see the Error Code or Error Message I have entered in the Terminate action. Can you please clarify where I can find this please? Thanks!

Hi @Xperia ,

You can clicking into a failed flow, and check the result of the flow.

Who in the world marked this as the solution? This is not a solution, and doesn't even address the question.

But, this is a BIG deal for managing flows. I have a history over 50-100 failures and some of them are "legit failures" and some are because i have a "Terminate->fail (with code and message)" that I CANNOT diagnose with out opening every single failed flow individually. this is a huge pain.... AND, I cannot tell if I've resubmitted a flow or not.
What is even the purpose of the "failed code and message" if I cannot get to it without clicking on the flow? By then, I already know the issue.
