I’m curious if there is a way to move the task to a certain step through an error handler? Or basically skip the next X number of steps?
Here is a visual:
Thanks in advance!

Error handling: skip to a Specific step?

Hey folks! 👋
In the meantime, as Troy said you could try one of the following approaches:
- Duplicate the path/desired actions and move them into the Error path.
- Move the path/desired actions over to a separate Zap and chain Zaps together using Webhooks:
- Use Sub-Zaps to carry actions that are applicable to both errored and non-errored paths.
If you run into any issues when trying the above approaches do let us know and we’ll be happy to assist further! 🙂

I second bret.knight87 in the interest for a feature like this.
I have several actions I’d like to skip via the error handler. I’ve chosen to allow all errors to be skipped rather than hack some way to substitute missing data when the zap is triggered. The alternative is to build a tree of some 60 paths that Zapier doesn’t have the bandwidth for.

- Sub-Zaps
- Webhooks
- To chain Zaps together
- 1:1
- MANY:1

- To chain Zaps together
- Lookup Tables
