Configure after run Error Message

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

When an action is configured to run when a previous action has failed, the error message of that action should become available within the configured action.

By doing so a notification can be send to the developer in order to act quickly on modifing the Flow.

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    It is currently not possible to get error message as output from the previous action.

    That is true, but I do not receive the actual message why it has failed. Like 'Unauthorized' or 'file not found', so I do not know why it has failed.

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    I assume that error handling will work for you. With error handling, you can define any number of steps to run after the failure of an action, such as send an email or push notification to developers to notify them that there is something wrong with flow.

    More details about error handling, please check the following link:

    Best regards,

    Mabel
