How to get error message from action in Logic App

I have a logic app, and there are 2 actions related to question.

pic1

How can i get specific error message from 1st action and use it in second (in expression)? I noticed that there are many scenarios possible.

  1. Internal Server Error (500) with no message
  2. 4xx status code (can be with or without message)
  3. Action timed out and has no output (portal still says BadRequest, 3rd pic)

if you have more "levels" in your logic app, for example

a scope -> loop -> condition

then you need to union() the result() from each "level":

@union(result('scope'),result('for-each'), result('condition'))

then you can filter thru this array to find what you are looking for, I use it to find Failed runs and its outputs

This is a flow that demonstrates what to do ...

Flow

A lot of it is semantics to throw an error but the most important section is at the bottom.

Basically, within the Scope section, I'm setting a variable that divides an amount by 0 which, as you'd expect, throws an error.

The Initialize Error (set as an Array) step at the bottom reads the result information that comes out of the Scope execution. You can do this by using the result() expression.

So in completeness, the expression within that step is ...

result('Scope')

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/logic-apps/workflow-definition-language-functions-reference#result

... but you also need to make sure you set the behaviour of the Initialize Error step to actually fire after an error from that which occurs within the Scope ...

Configure After

... and this is the result of that execution ...
