Error Handling in Flows – How to use Fault Path safely?, Markus Fröhler
This presentation picks up where documentation leaves off: drawing a fault path and displaying a custom error message. On the surface, this may seem intuitive and simple, as Flow is meant to be, but an unthoughtful approach can inadvertently lead to inconsistent data.
This session is intended for anyone who designs, builds, or maintains Flows. I aim to raise awareness of how the Flow runtime operates behind the scenes, especially when something unexpected occurs. From this understanding, I will outline what Flow builders need to consider when designing a fault path and demonstrate the negative impact that careless error handling can have in Flows.
Drawing from many years of experience in software development and architecture, I will transfer best practices and established patterns for error handling into the world of Flows. You will learn about the available tools for different types of Flows and explore the current limitations of the low-code approach.
