how can I clear failed status of a flow inside loop

Posted on by MartonVilmanyi

I would like to update a dataverse table with device data, and only in case something changed. Also, If the record is not present I want to add it.

This is my current flow. If the Get row action fails, the device is not yet in our database, so I need to add it.

It does its job, but what bothers me is that the flow ends with "Failed" status. As far as I can see, the "error" here is handled, the flow should return success. Is it possible to somehow clear the failed flag inside the flow at this point? I am aware the "Terminate" action, but that only works at the end of the flow.

Or, how can I avoid even getting an error here and achieve the same functionality?

Hi @MartonVilmanyi

You could add a Terminate action at the very bottom of the workflow (after conditions), and end it with success status value.

Hope it helps!

Hi @fchopo that would return a green also if any other error happens inside the loop.

Hi @MartonVilmanyi

Which loop do you mean? (in the screenshot I don't see any). Could you detail your desired logic?

1) If errors occurs in loop -> Return error

2) If error occurs because item is not found -> Return OK

Is that right?

Hi @MartonVilmanyi

I would do the following:

1) Initialize a variable with Error Status (succeeded)

2) If there's an error in the scope -> Set variable to Failed

3) In the last Terminate action, return value of the variable

Hope it helps!

my fault, that was indeed missing from the screenshot. I update the post.
In short: I would like that in the end, the flow reports failed when any unhandled error occurs.
