How to Create Flow Error Messages
As a user, when you’re just approaching your day and attempting to finish work, there’s nothing more disappointing than being met with a mistake that doesn’t have a human-accommodating clarification. Clients will undoubtedly get irritated and may ultimately begin searching for workarounds outside the framework.

As much as you should design your Flows to be less error-prone (more on that later), errors are bound to occur sometimes, especially in more complex Flows.
You want your users to know what specifically caused the error, especially if it’s something that can be easily fixed so they can finish the task at hand. There are a variety of ways to accomplish this.
Using Decisions to Avoid Flow Errors
To try not to hit a ‘shortcoming’ by and large, you can utilize a Decision to actually look at explicit models before continuing and circle the client back around assuming you want to tidy up or assemble extra data.
You can make custom Screens to clarify a blunder. For instance, utilizing the streaming model from a past article, to tell your clients that the Account they’re referring to has no Contacts, you’d have to make a Screen after the Get Contacts clarifying this, and put a Decision component that chooses the regardless of whether the countContacts variable (the quantity of records in the Collection) is more prominent than or equivalent to 1.
Assuming that the Account has under 1 Contact, you might need to release the client back and choose an alternate Account, or close out the Flow by and large, regardless, you’ve effectively tried not to hit a mistake!
Making a Custom Error Message for Users and Admins

You’ll likewise get a duplicate of a similar blunder in your email (with extra data, for example, their feedback esteems, the time the Flow was run, and who ran it).
Flow Errors Caused by Inactive Users
Errors may at times happen on the off chance that a client is idle. This happens most regularly when somebody leaves the association. Assuming a client allocated to the Flow is presently not dynamic while attempting to continue a Flow interview that has been stopped, you will cause a blunder.
The simplest solution for this issue is to freeze your clients and guarantee all Flow interviews doled out to that specific client are finished before completely deactivating them.
Change Who Receives Flow Error Emails
The Process Automation Settings in Setup shows you who ought to get the Flow blunder messages. You can choose whether it will be the ‘Client Who Last Modified the Process or Flow’, or ‘Apex Exception Email Recipients’ (this is a rundown of clients determined on the Apex Exception Email page).
Is There a Way to Ignore Salesforce Flow Errors?
You can likewise disregard a Fault through and through by hauling the Fault line to a similar spot as the achievement line. By and large, this isn’t suggested, and should just be done in specific specialty conditions, for example, guaranteeing a Contact is important for a particular Campaign.
