How to fix common error fast?
Hey David! I usually wait for an error to occur before implementing an error handler. It’s often challenging to predict errors in advance since you don’t always know what might trigger them or how the module will phrase or code the error message.
Thanks for this, Max! I’ve been struggling with error handling in Make. The video was helpful, but I’m still unsure about when to use the ‘Ignore’ handler. Any advice?
Hey Amanda! You use the ‘Ignore’ error handler when you don’t care if there is an error in that module, or if you want the scenario to keep running no matter how many errors there are.
For example, after the sale of an digital product you might deliver the digital product send yourself a notification. Sending yourself a notification isn’t crucial, but if that notification module would throw an error the scenario would stop. So you could then choose to add the ‘Ignore’ error handler to the notification module so that the other module that delivers the digital product keeps running 🙃
Hope that helps!
Could you clarify the best practice for nested errors in Make.com?
Sure! You have an example?
Wow, super helpful! But how do I test these handlers in real-time?
Hey Nefise, that’s a really good question. The only way to really test them, is to cause an error on purpose.
For example, when I need a simple error in the HTTP module, I type an invalid domain to get one.
Good luck! 🙌
Thank you for the comprehensive guide, Max. As someone who has struggled with error handling in my projects, your explanations have certainly shed light on areas I was previously unsure about. Looking forward to applying these tips!
Happy to hear! 😄
Very insightful, thanks Max!
Glad you like it!
