Utility & web · Step
Fail with an error
Stop the run as failed with your own error, so it shows in the run log and starts When a flow fails.
debug.fail
In a flow
“When a button is clicked, fail with an error.”
Read a Google Sheet → If Rows found is 0 → Fail with an error: the sheet is empty.
What it does
Stop the run as failed with your own error, so it shows in the run log and starts When a flow fails. It's a step: it runs when the white wire reaches it, then the flow carries on from its Then pin. Find it under Utility & web in the palette.
When to use it
Use it for odds and ends: stop the run as failed with your own error, so it shows in the run log and starts When a flow fails.
When not to
If nothing should change in Discord, a value node or a check is lighter.
