Error handling with scope goes wrong

Hello everyone,

I have built a flow that works quite well so far. Unfortunately, I'm having issues with error handling. Within my scope (Try), I have several conditions, and if an error occurs on either the true or false side, the condition only shows a general error and not the complete error from the specific action it concerns.

The actual error (which I introduced) is at the bottom left.

Here is the error message frome the actual error.

In my Catch block, I can only catch the general error.

Can someone give me a good idea on how to solve this?

Thanks

Florian

For error handling of the scope, you need to add a parallel branch below the scope. The current action, HW-Ubergabe, will be set to only run if the scope succeeds (this is the default behavior). If you want to e-mail yourself when it doesn't so you can check the flow run, add an e-mail action for the parallel branch and set it to only run when the scope fails and then follow it with a terminate flow action set to either succeed or cancel.

This is a flow of mine with a similar error check approach:

If the user is found (is successful) the flow does one thing. If the user is not found (has failed), it does another thing.

Hello David,
thank you for your response, but I still don't quite understand your approach. If an error occurs in the "HW Übergabe" action in the True branch, the general error is displayed in the if statement, and this is then forwarded to the Try Scope. Where exactly should I incorporate the parallel branch, and what goes where? Feel free to use my Flow.jpg and illustrate it or something like that.
Thank you very much.

Okay, after a bit of testing, that helped me a lot; now I have the solution.
