Cancel Flow if Data Gateway is down

While I appreciate the "[X] of your Flows have failed" email from Power Automate, it would be helpful if I could somehow get it to ignore connection failures. Those connection failures add a lot of noise and I'm probably missing real design flaws because I can't be arsed to go through every failure when I know most of them are just from a networking hiccup.

Is there a way to Cancel a flow if it fails to connect rather than Fail? Or could MS implement more types of failures that we can sort by?

Re: Cancel Flow if Data Gateway is down

@funkyman50 ,

If you don't want to get failures messages (sometimes arrived too late to take an action may occurs 3-5 days after failures) why don't you add a parallel branch to your flow where you know it fails and use in this brach a always successful action like Terminate (with success) action. If it is not critical for your business that a flow sometimes can fail and you don't really need to be notified about this failures, I think this is a recommended action to be done. Of course you can replace the Terminate action with a Outlook - Send email to administrator if you need to follow the flow failures.

Hope it helps !
