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.

Examples

To manage an email in a mailbox

We are using an example of email management, where we have a chain of email Snaps functioning respectively to perform tasks for the mails in the mailbox. 

In this example, our Pipeline activities are as follows:

  1. Reading and email using Read Email Snap.

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

  3. Copying document stream using Copy Snap.

  4. Flagging an email using Flag Email Snap.

  5. Moving an email using Move Email Snap.

Here, let us look into Read Email Snap in this Pipeline.

We read an email from a mailbox, wherein we provide all the required details in the Snap Settings shown below:
