With error handling, you can define any number of steps to run after the failure of an action. This powerful new feature will ensure that you can run even your most important business processes inside of Microsoft Flow.<\/p>\n<h3>How to add an action after a failure<\/h3>\n<p>First, you&#8217;ll have to figure out which action you want to monitor for failures. If you already have actions after that step, you can add a new step after in parallel. In this example, let&#8217;s look at adding an error handling step for the Dynamics 365 action <strong>Create a new record<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/error-handling-parallel-branch.png\" style=\"width: 375px; height: 281px;\"\/><\/p>\n<p>You can then select what action you want.\u00a0Once you have a new step, select the &#8220;&#8230;&#8221; menu at the top-right of the action and choose the\u00a0<strong style=\"font-size: 13.008px;\">Configure run after<\/strong>\u00a0menu item:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/error-handling-run-after-menu.png\" style=\"width: 375px; height: 199px;\"\/><\/p>\n<p>This will display the new options. You can define steps that run after:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>An action has any type of failure (except timeout).<\/li>\n<li>An action was skipped. Actions are skipped either when a condition is not met, or, when a previous action before that action fails.<\/li>\n<li>An action times out. This can happen if the call to the backend times out (120 seconds), or for long running actions such as approvals, after 30 days.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/error-handling-configure.png\" style=\"width: 375px; height: 172px;\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Select any or all of these checkboxes and then select Done. Now, you will get a mobile notification whenever the flow fails to create a new record in Dynamics 365.<\/p>\n<h3>Use run after to handle missing records<\/h3>\n<p>There are even some cases where error handling may even be part of the &#8220;expected&#8221; flow. For example, if you are copying records into a system and you want to have different behavior depending on if the record exists. Or, you want to look up someone in the directory, and then if the user doesn&#8217;t exist you want to use some default values. You can set this up by having an action run after the Office 365 Get user step fails and populate the default data:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/error-handling-404.png\" style=\"width: 496px; height: 258px;\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/flow.microsoft.com\/galleries\/public\/templates\/bba77270373f11e7870df906aa521b7a\/\">above template<\/a> shows how this works. It reads a record from Dynamics 365 and tries to look up that user&#8217;s email in the Office 365 directory. If the user is found, then a task is created in planner with that email address. Otherwise, the task can still be created in planner, but it won&#8217;t have email information.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Increment or decrement counters<\/h2>\n<p>You can initialize and increment or decrement variables inside of a flow run. This will make it possible to know how many times a certain branch of logic ran, for example.<\/p>\n<p>To get started you&#8217;ll first need to initialize the variable:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/error-handling-variables.png\" style=\"width: 375px; height: 353px;\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Currently, you can create counters that are Integers or Floats (numbers with decimals). Once you have initialized the variable you can then increment or decrement it in your flow.\u00a0Finally, you can also then reference that variable wherever you want.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/error-handling-variable-flow.png\" style=\"width: 533px; height: 377px;\"\/><\/p>\n<p>In the above flow you can see at the top the variable is initialized, it&#8217;s incremented inside a condition in a apply-to-each loop, and then at the end a notification is sent with the contents of the variable.<\/p>\n<h2>View organization quotas<\/h2>\n<p>Inside of organizations, the number of flow runs you have is a quota that&#8217;s shared across all users in the company (see the <a href=\"https:\/\/flow.microsoft.com\/pricing\">Microsoft Flow Pricing page<\/a>). Now, tenant administrators can see how many flow runs have been used by members of their org in the <a href=\"https:\/\/admin.flow.microsoft.com\/\">Microsoft Flow Admin Center<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/error-handling-quota.png\" style=\"width: 419px; height: 198px;\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Note that trial (or free) users do not count against the organization quota, but they are included for visibility if the admin wants to understand trial usage. Second, we have added a details view to help admins understand the distribution of licenses inside their org and how each of these licenses are contributing to the quota:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/error-handling-breakdown.png\" style=\"width: 312px; height: 257px;\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<strong>Quota Breakdown<\/strong>\u00a0view lists the number of runs per license, the number that are purchased, and thus what your total run capacity is. Finally, you can always purchase additional Flow Runs if your company is nearing its quota at the end of the month.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"properties\">Flow properties page<\/h2>\n<p>Starting this week, when you go to your My flows list and select a flow you&#8217;ll see a new flow details page (instead of the flow designer itself):<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/error-handling-properties.png\" style=\"width: 478px; height: 440px;\"\/><\/p>\n<p>This new page gives you a quick glance at everything that is immediately relevant for your flow, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The connections that this flow uses, and their status (to easily see if a connection is broken)<\/li>\n<li>Who has access to the flow<\/li>\n<li>The run history of the flow including both successful and failed runs\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To edit a flow you, the the pencil icon on the My flows list, or, select <strong>Edit flow<\/strong> in the toolbar on the properties page.
