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:

  • Stop Pipeline Execution: Stops the current pipeline execution if 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

Performing Team Operations

The following example Pipeline demonstrates how you can use the Team Operations Snap in the Teams Snap Pack to to manage teams within your Microsoft Teams instance. This example assumes that you have:

This Pipeline uses the OAuth2 user account (authorization code grant type) to perform the following activities on behalf of a signed-in user.

  • Retrieving the list of teams

  • Retrieving the list of channels within a team

  • Renaming a team

To begin with, we use the Team Operations Snap with the Operation selected as List Teams. When run, this Snap retrieves the list of all teams available in your Microsoft Teams instance including the details of each team.

Next, we add another Team Operations Snap and select the Operation as List Channels and a Team ID to retrieve the list of channels available in a team.

Now, we use another Team Operations Snap to rename a team. Here, we select the Rename Team option in the Operation field. Notice that the Snap supports a variety of special characters for the team name. The output of this Snap contains a confirmation message that the selected team operation is completed successfully, on the teams listed in the Snap's input. It also includes the details of the each team passed in the input document to the Snap.
