Hello Sir, I have a flow created in Power Automate Desktop. The flow should pull get attachment/file in folder from excel sheet and the file is sent via email. But if attachment/file is not found on folder it show error message and stop flow (pic-1). I want, if attachment/file not found, it will go for next action. Flow not stop. How can I do that?

    Most actions have On error when you open them (edit action). Click On Error to set up what happens if that actions goes to error.

    Then switch from "Throw error" to "Continue flow run" and make sure Exception handling mode is "Go to next action"

    Then click Save

     

    I suggest you also add New rule -> Set variable to make an error variable(attachementNotFound = true)

    Then have if condition to check if that variable is true
