Flow Failure message (false positive)

Hey, I've created the branched flow on the picture to connect to external API.

Situation background

API uses POST for creating new elements, and PUT for updates. Those have same request structure. Thus, I'm loading the data from PowerApp and then launch it through POST. If that fails (it means item was already added) I update the item using PUT. To handle the errors I've used the "Configure run after" option.

Main question

Is there any way for the flow to be classified as Succeeded, if the failure occurs only in expected failure place. And to only show it as failure if the error occurs somewhere, where error handling is not present? Just so I can find real errors faster in the future, and avoid those emails about flow failure.
