Error Handling for Flow Designer Action is not setting step status correctly for a REST request

[Elliott2]

Hi all,

I'm having an issue when building a custom Flow Designer action using REST step and error handling

I have created several error handlers and none of them will trigger and correctly end the action, instead, the next step is run. Is there something I a doing wrong here that is causing it?

My understanding of what a 'error' is when making a rest call via flow designer is if the step actually encounters an error such as an incomplete credential or a bad reference. A 400 error is an API error, not a flow designer error. The action made the call and got a response back so it was successful.

Edit: The solution is to add a script step to the action after the rest step, then perform all error checking manually there, and throw when you want to stop the action from processing further.
