Power Automate is a powerful tool that helps you automate tasks, make processes smoother, and connect different apps without needing to code. When creating flows, it's important to deal with errors in a smart way and manage the flow's execution properly. To do this, we use "Scope Try" and "Scope Catch" actions.
In this blog post, we'll explain what these actions are and how you can use them effectively.
Scope "Try" Action: The "Scope Try" action acts as a container, encapsulating a set of actions within it. Its primary purpose is to execute these actions as a single unit, monitoring for any exceptions that might occur during execution. If an error occurs within the "Try" scope, it allows the flow to gracefully transition to the "Scope Catch" block.

Benefits of Using Scope Try
- Provides a clean and organized way to group related actions together.
- Ensures that any error within the "Try" block does not cause the entire flow to fail.
- Allows the flow to proceed to the "Scope Catch" action for error handling and recovery.
Scope "Catch" Action: The "Scope Catch" action is used in conjunction with the "Scope Try" action and serves as an error handling block. It acts as a safety net, capturing and handling errors that occurred within the "Try" scope. When an error occurs, the flow automatically transitions to the "Scope Catch" action for error handling and recovery.

Benefits of Using Scope Catch
- Facilitates structured error handling, preventing unexpected failures.
- Provides an opportunity to log errors, notify stakeholders, or take corrective actions.
- Enables the flow to recover gracefully from exceptions, promoting better flow reliability.
Note - To make your Scope catch run you need to configure it to run after where you get below options
