Error

Error handling is a generic way to handle errors without losing data or failing the Snap execution. You can handle the errors that the Snap might encounter when running the Pipeline by choosing one of the following options from the When errors occur list under the Views tab:

  • Stop Pipeline Execution: Stops the current Pipeline execution when the Snap encounters an error.

  • Discard Error Data and Continue: Ignores the error, discards that record, and continues with the remaining records.

  • Route Error Data to Error View: Routes the error data to an error view without stopping the Snap execution.

Learn more about Error handling in Pipelines.

Event Management

We are using an example of event-based management, where we have chain of event Snaps in this Pipeline, designated to perform specific tasks pertaining to their functionalities.

In this example, our Pipeline activities are as follows:

  1. Creating an event with all required input

...

  1. using the Create Event

...

  1.  Snap.

  2. Mapping the event’s information

...

  1.  using the Mapper

...

  1.  Snap.

  2. Updating an event

...

  1. using the Update Event

...

  1.  Snap.

  2. Listing the events in the calendar

...

  1. using the List Events

...

  1.  Snap.

  2. Mapping an event’s information

...

  1.  using the Mapper

...

  1.  Snap.

  2. Deleting an existing event from the calendar

...

  1. using the Delete Event

...

  1.  Snap.

...

Here, let us look into the role of the the Create Event Event Snap in this Pipeline.

We create an event in the calendar with all the required inputs.

Upon execution, the displayed output confirms the creation of an event with the given input.

We use the Mapper Snap to map the newly created event’s details with the details of another event to update.

Upon execution, the output displays the list of events and details related to the events.

We use the Mapper Snap to map the event’s ID received from the List Events Snap with the Existing Event ID field’s value in the Delete Event Snap.
