How to restart a failed flow from the point of failure after the issue is fixed

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by LorraineFrost

Hi, 

I have a fairly complicated flow which goes through many approvals. It has failed at a notification step which I have now fixed. I would like to restart that flow from the point of notification without having to restart and go through all of the first lot of approvals again. I don't want to skip steps if they fail as they are all important.

Is there a way of restarting the flow at the failed step?

Thanks

    Hi,

     

    I would add some logic to the flow to create a state machine like flow. For testing purpose or one shot use, I would create a variable as state value. Then just have to surround important parts of the flow with condition or use switch to execute only needed part.
