Get Specific Action Error Message from Inside Scope

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 7

I have added multiple actions inside the Scope and would like to get the specific error whichever action gets it. However, I am not able to do that. What I have tried so far after going over different blog posts is that:

 

  1. I found a solution: store error messages to a variable in case the action fails and use that variable to get the error in the further steps that is the catch/finally block but that is not ideal since there are a lot of actions involved.
  2. I tried using compose and parse JSON to get the error message but still could not get the error. 

I am new to Power Automate so not sure what I am doing wrong. Can you please guide me?

At the moment, getting error inside the scope in Apply to each.

At the Error Message, I want to show the actual error that I can get at any point in Scope.

    Expand the Apply to each action

    and click on the Next failed action

    I am trying to get the error that can occur with any action inside the scope. I want to access that error message and use it in the Send an Email action to notify. The issue is that I cannot extract the error correctly that I can use in email.
