I have created a flow and it functions fine except if a distribution list is entered it fails at a step but continues on and finishes correctly. Is there a way to make this step not fail no matter what? It fails on both Individual step of the branch which are pretty similar just grabs data from different spots in the MS Form.

Hi

I am not sure what you mean by it fails?, but finishes and completes. Is it in some loop??? Have you purposely set the Run After to not care if it fails? otherwise i have no idea how its continuing to run after an unhandled error.

Sorry I am lost, if they entered wrong data, why would it complete successfully and if so why even have that action there if it seems to do nothing to block it from "not completing"

So no I dont know what you mean by make it not fail. If something is in there that is wrong, its going to fail.. I certainly dont expect it to continue on so that is surpising.

You can put error handling around the one that fails and then decide what to do (continue on or not) is that what you mean?

It looks like you have already configured some actions with a parallel branch to handle if the action above it fails (indicated by the red arrows). That would be the approach to take. Are you looking for something else? If you want to terminate the flow when the prior action fails, just add a terminate flow action under the path that the flow takes when the action above fails.

I would love for it to not say failed for the whole thing here. So that is my question is there a way to make it not do that since the flow actually works no matter which way it goes. It would be wonderful if it succeeded on that step no matter what and would only give a failed status if another step failed so I actually know its a real fail. I hope that makes sense.
