Get error message for the action 'on failure'

‎06-28-2019 01:23 AM

Hi, 

I'm trying to set up error handling in one of my flows. I have 'Create file' action and then 'Exacute strored procedure' on failure. First issue i noticed is if my 'create file' failes but the stored procedure is executed, in the run history it still says Flow was succesfull. I don't think thats informative enought - something still failed and it should be visible in the run history.

You can't just say it run successfully, when one of the steps failed...

Second issue I have is that I have the information on which step of my flows failed but I would also like to get the error message flow provides.

It would make life so much easier to have the error message avaliable as a dynamic content... Does anyone had a similar problem? Any ideas on how to work around it?

Hello Power Automate community!

 

As @Pstork1  described, the expression returns an error message if an error occurred within the scope:
result('Name_of_the_scope')

Don't use:  results('Name_of_the_scope')

It took me a while to figure this out myself 😉

 

It is described e.g. here by Alex Shlega:

Hi @tapan 

No there is no way to get the error message AFAIK, except by testing all the underlying actions.
This is strange/silly since this 'global' error is often available in the run history outcome.

So while it is there, it is just not exposed to the programable part of flow. 

 

Too bad, maybe you want to put this on the idea list, if not already there.

Your solution got me really close - but the issue may have been system updates that changed the command.  It is not action(), but actions(), and you need the .body. in there.

 

Here is your solution based on current code and a reference link for Docs:

 

Command in [Compose]: actions('{your_action_name').outputs.body.message
 
Here is the link to the Power Automate 'actions' code command (all flow code commands!):
 
Hope this helps others resolve their errors faster.

Note: Set the next action in the flow 'Configure run after' to

One way to get the message/result of the action is to use: body('actionName')['message']. NB: You must replace the spaces with underscores in the actionName.

That looks like an incredibly helpful error log /s.

 

Did microsoft recently change error reporting. I used to use the try/catch to ensure that failed operations did not stop my flow, and that the flow did not report as failed, but recently, my flow with try/catch is throwing failure status for flows when the failed action is inside my try scope.

 

Any ideas?

Hi @Clifferton, 
For quite some time now, I wrap everything that can fail in a scope control.
The next component's runafter property makes it finish normally.

Right, I have a test that might fail inside a scope, with run after set for the following scope. but when it fails the entire flow is marked as failing too. I'll keep looking.

Make sure that after the failure run after scope you add a terminate action set for Succeeded or that you merge the failed scope back into the main flow path.  If the flow ends on a run after failed the flow will be marked as failed.  But you can reset that using a Terminate action.

Thanks, I didn't have a terminate control in the final scope. I'll see if that works better.

Make sure you set the Terminate to Succeeded.  Its Failed by default.

This is probably a little late, but if you're out there still struggling with getting just the error message of the action that failed out of a scope of like 20 actions, here's a simple method I've recently created so that you could always get it out:

Pavel_NaNoi_0-1685718288380.png

An explanation of how this works:

- First action is a scope

- Second action only runs if the scope throws an error

- This second action, takes the result of the scope using the "result()" action, however since its an array of only one item, that being the entire message, we can't dig into its contents easily, thus we first have to join it first into a whole string but then we can split back into a list of strings that are split by "," and this luckily splits the text up perfectly as each line in result() ends with a ",' and gives us each and every line in result() as just an item in an array.

- With this, we move onto the third action, an Filter Array action, in here we just give it our array output and simply ask it to go through each item in the array and look for the text "message", if it finds it, it gives us the output.

 

The reason this all works is because any error in power automate is always in the following format:

"error": {

        "code": BadRequest,

        "message": "Exception message here",

}

So we just need the "message" part out.        

 

And that's basically it, this removes any need for a for each loops coincidentally as well, making our life much easier.

The only limitations this has is if the message is either:

a. Extremely long, nothing we can do about that and you're at the mercy of Microsoft's exception handling.

You'll need to create a separate business exception case for cases like this.

b. If there's multiple "Message:" messages, it will print them out too, whether relevant or not. It will still work but just have extra unnecessary information in the way, you may be able to filter this out further however.

September User Group Success Story: Reading Dynamics 365 & Power Platform User Group

The Reading Dynamics 365 and Power Platform User Group is a community-driven initiative that started in September 2022. It has quickly earned recognition for its enthusiastic leadership and resilience in the face of challenges. With a focus on promoting learning and networking among professionals in the Dynamics 365 and Power Platform ecosystem, the group has grown steadily and gained a reputation for its commitment to its members!   The group, which had its inaugural event in January 2023 at the Microsoft UK Headquarters in Reading, has since organized three successful gatherings, including a recent social lunch. They maintain a regular schedule of four events per year, each attended by an average of 20-25 enthusiastic participants who enjoy engaging talks and, of course, pizza.   The Reading User Group's presence is primarily spread through LinkedIn and Meetup, with the support of the wider community. This thriving community is managed by a dedicated team consisting of Fraser Dear, Tim Leung, and Andrew Bibby, who serves as the main point of contact for the UK Dynamics 365 and Power Platform User Groups.   Andrew Bibby, an active figure in the Dynamics 365 and Power Platform community, nominated this group due to his admiration for the Reading UK User Group's efforts. He emphasized their remarkable enthusiasm and success in running the group, noting that they navigated challenges such as finding venues with resilience and smiles on their faces. Despite being a relatively new group with 20-30 members, they have managed to achieve high attendance at their meetings.   The group's journey began when Fraser Dear moved to the Reading area and realized the absence of a user group catering to professionals in the Dynamics 365 and Power Platform space. He reached out to Andrew, who provided valuable guidance and support, allowing the Reading User Group to officially join the UK Dynamics 365 and Power Platform User Groups community.   One of the group's notable achievements was overcoming the challenge of finding a suitable venue. Initially, their "home" was the Microsoft UK HQ in Reading. However, due to office closures, they had to seek a new location with limited time. Fortunately, a connection with Stephanie Stacey from Microsoft led them to Reading College and its Institute of Technology. The college generously offered them event space and support, forging a mutually beneficial partnership where the group promotes the Institute and encourages its members to support the next generation of IT professionals.   With the dedication of its leadership team, the Reading Dynamics 365 and Power Platform User Group is poised to continue growing and thriving! Their story exemplifies the power of community-driven initiatives and the positive impact they can have on professional development and networking in the tech industry. As they move forward with their upcoming events and collaborations with Reading College, the group is likely to remain a valuable resource for professionals in the Reading area and beyond.

September featured user group leader

 Ayonija Shatakshi, a seasoned senior consultant at Improving, Ohio, is a passionate advocate for M365, SharePoint, Power Platform, and Azure, recognizing how they synergize to deliver top-notch solutions. Recently, we asked Ayonija to share her journey as a user group leader, shedding light on her motivations and the benefits she's reaped from her community involvement.      Ayonija embarked on her role as a user group leader in December 2022, driven by a desire to explore how the community leveraged various Power Platform components. When she couldn't find a suitable local group, she decided to create one herself!    Speaking about the impact of the community on her professional and personal growth, Ayonija says, "It's fascinating to witness how everyone navigates the world of Power Platform, dealing with license constraints and keeping up with new features. There's so much to learn from their experiences.:        Her favorite aspect of being a user group leader is the opportunity to network and engage in face-to-face discussions with fellow enthusiasts, fostering deeper connections within the community. Offering advice to budding user group leaders, Ayonija emphasized the importance of communication and consistency, two pillars that sustain any successful community initiative.      When asked why she encourages others to become user group leaders, Ayonija said, "Being part of a user group is one of the best ways to connect with experienced professionals in the same field and glean knowledge from them. If there isn't a local group, consider starting one; you'll soon find like-minded individuals."      Her highlight from the past year as a user group leader was witnessing consistent growth within the group, a testament to the thriving community she has nurtured. Advocating for user group participation, Ayonija stated, "It's the fastest route to learning from the community, gaining insights, and staying updated on industry trends."   Check out her group: Cleveland Power Platform User Group
