Hi just asking the community if anyone has a way that they have designed error handling in Power Automate Desktop that they are proud of? And is particularly clever? I am wanting to design the error handling so that it has good logs, and possibly can allow for user intervention as the process is running but I have not found great examples out there of the design? Thanks for sharing you clever folks!

I am in the same situation, errors are not displayed in a central view and I need to enable notifications on an error to alert myself / the team to deal with an issue. / Trigger tickets etc. I cant find anything built-in.

Hi, RPA best practice is to have one error block over the main body of the script and another around the item loop.

Ideally the robot should log steps into TXT or CSV file and should send emails when it encounters errors in the main loop (termination) or item related error (exception). I have one page called Exception and one called Termination to handle those and those pages are called from the respective exception blocks.

To throw a custom error I was using in WinAutomation custom logging using casting action of text into number and then parsing the error message. I have not tried if it would get into the log with the new version of PAD though.
