Written by

Updated at July 2, 2025

The Fail control step terminates a workflow execution with an error. If the step is inside the Foreach or Parallel steps, it terminates the entire workflow execution, not just the current execution branch.

Management console
  1. When creating a new workflow or editing an existing one, in the management console, under Create workflow / Edit workflow, select Constructor.

  2. From the Control steps section on the left side of the screen, drag the Fail element to the relevant workflow location in the constructor window.

    You can drag and drop steps into areas marked by the dotted line in the workflow schema, such as Add a step, etc.

  3. In the workflow schema window, click the new Fail section to select it.

  4. At the right of the window, on the Settings tab.

    1. In the Step name field, enter a name for the workflow step.

    2. In the Error text field, enter the error message that will terminate a workflow execution.
