How do I make these two actions run even if the "Create item" part fails?

Hello,

 

How do I make the "Mark as read or unread (V2)", and "Move email (V2)" execute even if Create item has failed?

 

If Create Item fails I don't want "Send an email (V2)" to run. As it is setup right now, that works. However I always want the email to be marked as read and moved.

Your help is appreciated,

Thanks!

    Hi @dlprentice ,

    You can use "Scope" action like try catch finally blocks. Here is a sample image with TRY CATCH blocks. But in your case one more block called finally. ( I mentioned steps below )

    1) Add a Scope block and name it as "TRY".

    2) Add Create List Item inside TRY Block

    3) Add another Scope block and name it as "CATCH"

    4) Keep your Send email inside CATCH block

    5) Set the CATCH block to run only when it "has failed"

    6) Add another Scope block and name it "FINALLY"

    7) Add your "Mark as read or unred" and "Move email" in this finally block

    8] Set this Finally block to run always ( check all options like is successful, has failed, is skipped, has timed out ).

     

    If I answered your question, please mark this question as answered and if you liked my response, please give a thumbs up .

     

    Thanks

    I appreciate your response, but I took a bit of a simpler approach.
