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.

Snap Settings

  • Asterisk (*): Indicates a mandatory field.

  • Suggestion icon ((blue star)): Indicates a list that is dynamically populated based on the configuration.

  • Expression icon ((blue star)): Indicates whether the value is an expression (if enabled) or a static value (if disabled). Learn more about Using Expressions in SnapLogic.

  • Add icon ((blue star)): Indicates that you can add fields in the field set.

  • Remove icon ((blue star)): Indicates that you can remove fields from the field set.

Search and mark an email as read

We use an example where we are going to search for an email from an individual's mailbox with required inputs and mark it as read.

In this example, our Pipeline activities are as follows:

  1. Searching an email using Search Email Snap.

  2. Marking an email as read using Mark Email As Read Snap.

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

Search Email Snap

Upon execution, we see an output with the retrieved email.

Here, let us look into the role of Mark Email As Read Snap in this Pipeline.
