We are happy to help, but please remember this is Power automate. Just sharing that error, without the flow etc is just wasting time for me to have to ask for it.

Here however is what you can do, and remember I cannot see your flow.

Let's assume you have some actions after you successfully create the Folder but you want to Skip if it fails.

1. Right after you Action to create the follow add another action, Select Scope as the action

rename it to Try

2. Add another Scope

rename it to Catch

3. Now inbetween these two scopes in the designer, you will see the +sign. Click it and say Create Parallel action

4. Add another Scope action

rename it to Success

5. Now, drag all the actions under the two Scopes that you want to do IF its successful and drag them into the success side. Make sure to start dragging from the top (right below the scope) so that they stay in order

6. Now that you have done that, click on the ... just as when you renamed Success Scope, and this time click Configure run after

Just Verify for the Success scope it only has On Success selected

7. In the Catch side, click the ... and select OnFailure, Timeout, Skipped and Uncheck Success

Now every time it fails, it won't do anything else. If it succeeds it will continue

In the Failure, you could read the error and decide if you want to do anything or not.

Then after all thats done, you can just do whatever you do now.

If I have helped you, I would really appreciate if you please Mark my answer as Resolved/Answered, and give it a thumbs up, so it can help others

Cheers

Hello @FLMike 

Thanks for taking time to respond.

i tought it was just a matter of an option.

here it is the flow with your suggestion.

Now it lasts a very long time, it's too long.
it lasts since 20 mn for 42 folders....

Do you think i set the scope boxes well ?
