How can you handle data issues in flows to avoid failures?

Adding fault connectors for corrective actions is a highly effective way to manage data issues in flows and can significantly reduce the likelihood of flow failures. Fault connectors allow you to define what actions to take when an error or unexpected condition occurs during the execution of a flow. This could include retrying the failed operation, logging the error for later review, sending alerts, or even initiating an alternative process to compensate for the failure.

By incorporating fault connectors, you ensure that your flow can respond dynamically to problems rather than terminating unexpectedly. This proactive approach enables you to maintain data integrity and enhances the overall resilience of your automation processes. Providing pathways for recovery or error handling not only helps in mitigating issues but also improves the user experience since users are less likely to be confronted with failures.

While implementing data processing rules, tracking data changes, and notifying the admin of missing data are useful practices in managing data quality and governance, they do not directly address the mechanism for handling errors dynamically during flow execution. These options can complement workflow design but do not provide the immediate error recovery capabilities that fault connectors offer.
