How to capture eventId from flow but still capture error

Posted on by egoscin

I am trying to do error handling and capture the ID returned by this flow call 'CreateEvent.Run'. It is a power automate flow that creates an event in an Outlook user's calendar.

The problem is when I wrap it in IfError, it does error checking on the UpdateContext function that I am using to capture the resulting eventID and not the 'CreateEvent.Run' function.

IfError(UpdateContext({id:CreateEvent.Run(
// contents

).eventid}),Notify("Error Creating Event",NotificationType.Error),

How do I capture the eventid but still do error handling on the 'CreateEvent.Run() Power Automate function?

Hi egoscin

pls try the following:

Set(varEventResult, CreateEvent.Run(
// Parameters for the flow
));

IfError(
Set(varEventID, varEventResult.eventid),
Notify("Error Creating Event", NotificationType.Error)
);

Thanks

I got it to work. It should look something like this:

Set(varEventResult, CreateEvent.Run(
// Parameters for the flow
));

IfError(
varEventResult,
Notify("Error Creating Event", NotificationType.Error)
);

Set(varEventResultID, varEventResult.eventid

Thanks for the help!
