"Pass" action

Post by mathieson » 08 Nov 2014 22:59

Hello,

There are some circumstances where an error might not be a good idea to show.

I believe Automagic needs a "pass" function so that if there is an exception in a certain action/condition then the "pass" action can be triggered and the flow can continue without problems.

My use case:
I use a flow that listens to the sound level in the room to adjust the ringer level. Sometimes the mic is busy and can trigger an error.

I have solved it by using a script with nothing in it but a comment. While this works fine I think a "pass" might be a good idea to have to make things a little bit clearer.

Press connection line. There appears two buttons: edit and delete. Press edit and select exception.

When a script fails, the flow continues along the exception path instead of thwing an error report.

Why do not you post your flow? I would be interested.
