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 while running the Pipeline by choosing one of the following options from the When errors occur list under the Views tab. The available options are:

  • 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 rest of the records.

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

Obtaining User object ID/Role object ID/Group object ID from Azure Portal

  1. Log in to the Azure portal.

  2. Navigate to Azure Active Directory>Users/Groups.

  3. Select a specific User/Group.

  4. In the Profile, you can view the Object Id.

  5. Copy the Object ID and use it to configure the relevant Snap as required.


Many features in Microsoft Graph API work similarly to the Azure Active Directory Graph APIs. However, a few have been changed or improved. For instance, there is a variation of the entity names in the output preview. This table depicts the difference in the output:

Old output (Azure AD Graph API)

New Output (Microsoft Graph API)

The entity object Id property was displayed as “ObjectId".

Learn more about the properties in Azure AD Graph API:

Azure AD Graph API Entity and Complex Type Reference

The object Id property is displayed as “Id" in the output.

The output also contains the default parameters shown by the Microsoft Graph API. However, there are certain attributes such as city that can be set by the Create Entry Snap, but this parameter is not displayed in the output as it is not the default output parameter. If you want use such parameters in your output, you can use filters to filter the parameters.
