Add a "log failure to SharePoint" branch
Theo's renewal flow occasionally fails on Get manager (V2) due to permission issues. By default, a failed action kills the whole run. That's the wrong behaviour for Drumlin: one failed email shouldn't stop the rest of the renewals from being processed.
Add a parallel path after Get manager (V2) that runs after Failed (and ideally TimedOut), and logs the failure. In production that log would be a SharePoint Create item on a Renewal Errors list. Here, a Compose with a static failure message stands in for that write - the graded skill is the Configure run after setting, not the SharePoint connector.
Scaffolding - worked micro-example: After Get manager (V2) you want two actions:
- Compose A (success path): Inputs = Mail from Get manager. Run after = is successful (default).
- Compose B (failure path): Inputs =
Get manager failed. Run after = has failed (and optionally has timed out). Untick is successful on Compose B or it will never fire on errors.
If the flow designer looks broken (no triggers or actions appear in the search list, or you see an error mentioning invalid host name characters), click Restart session, then reload the exercise.
