How to abort an action in servicenow ?

[Smriti Rastogi]

I am using REST Api - async step where I am getting a payload with these details for change request form -

1. Short Description

2. Description

3. Requester

4. Configuration Item

5. Correlation ID

I have made all these mandatory in the body

Now I see if the body is recieved empty the change is still created and flow is completed and flow execution id is sent as a response. 

Ideally , I think it should flow should run into error.

Secondly If the CI which is recieved is not found in ServiceNow or is retired we need to abort the action and send an error message back but I see in this case flow goes into error but still the flow execution id is sent as a response.

Basically how do I send an error response for above cases?
