Configure Failure state in Circuit | Qntrl | Circuit | Online Help

Failure

The Failure state is also an end state that signifies the failure of the previous task executed in the circuit and stops its execution, marking it as a failure. It is used to represent a failed execution for the user's reference.
 
Example Use Case: In the employee onboarding case, specifically during the employee document verification stage, when the verification status indicates a failure, we can employ a Failure state to terminate execution along with an error message and reason for failure.

Builder View

To configure a Failure state to your circuit:

  1. In Builder Viewdrag and drop the Failure state from the left pane into your circuit or click the required Failure state in your Circuit.
  2. Under Configurationupdate the common state field attributes.
  3. You can add a specific Error Message and an optional Reason in the state for your reference that will be displayed in the execution response to help in debugging.
  4. In the Input/Output section, you can add the Result selector, to refine and filter the states' results.

There is no Next state for a Failure state since it is the last state for that path.
