Need more details of your previous step. 

See if Condition action in the flow is helpful.

If not, please provide additional details of your flow.

As mentioned by @rsaikrishna, more information would be helpful. 

If you truly mean on the success or failure of the previous step, take a look at the Runa after settings.  You can configure an action to run only if the preceding action succeeded or failed.  Here is a link for more info.

I use create new item on the sharepoint list. I want to recieve boolean variable when this step fails.

Here you can use Exception handling concept to handle the failures.

Created following sample:

Here are the steps:

Step1: Created a boolean variable varCreateItemFailedStatus and set its value to false.

Step2:  Create Item action to create item in the SharePoint list.

Step3:  Set variable value for varCreateItemFailedStatus to true. This is very important step. Click on 3 dots next to Set Variable action and click on "Configure run after".  Select "has failed" for Create Item action as shown below picture:

   

Step4:  Placed a condition and checking varCreateItemFailedStatus is equal to true. Again, for this action also, click on 3 dots and click on Configure run after option. Select all the 4 options as shown below picture:

I hope this will be helpful.

I know this method. I just wanted one expression which uses data from step before. If it's not possible then thank you for help 🙂 I already use solution like that.

In Power Automate, to catch any action's failures, time out, success, skipped, we need to use this approach. 

There is no other approach as far as I know.

I'm looking for part which is like in http request:

{

"status":"success",

"content":"xxxx"

}

Do you understand what I mean? 🙂

I understood. HTTP action completes whether the REST api end point action is successful or failed.

You can check Status code value for HTTP action. If it is 200, then it is Passed. If it is different code, it can be marked as failed.
