PAD error handling when using "Run Desktop Flow"

Posted on by R_KW

Hi all,

I am using the action "Run Desktop Flow" to run desktop flow B from desktop flow A.

In Flow B, I have an error handling subflow, when error occur then it will run the subflow and it works well when I run Flow B directly. However, when I run Flow A to trigger Flow B, the error handling in Flow B won't work anymore and just causing Flow A failed in the action "Run Desktop Flow" and Flow B failed.

Anyway to trigger the error handling in Flow B when I am using "Run Desktop Flow" in Flow A?

Thanks a lot!

Can you share some more details in how exactly your error handling in flow B works?

It is like this, by using "On block error"
and then will run the "Error_Handling" subflow to send email notice users.

I expect after sending error email then Flow B will end and return to Flow A next action.

I would also suggest enabling the "Capture unexpected logic errors" toggle, so it captures errors with indexes being out of range, objects not containing properties, etc. These sorts of errors can make your flow fail and are not handled by On block error if the toggle is not enabled.

Also, are you sure all of your actions are within the On block error? Are there any actions outside it that could fail?
What does the Error_Handling sub-flow do? Can it perhaps also fail?
