Good evening,
Can anyone tell me if there is a method to handle all unknown exceptions during an execution of an automation flow? For example a Try and Catch error.

Regards,
Nicola

There is no try/catch in Appian, but you can implement an error manager in your process working with the timer event and the Appian API

I'm talking about Appian RPA. Do you know any action to handle unexpected errors from third-party applications?

Please go through this link here. Few best practices are given for business exceptions and unplanned exceptions. Those might help you.

That does not exist in Appian. And is also not necessary, at least not in my 14 years of experience.

I am not doing much RPA. Maybe the documentation helps.

There is not such a low-code method in RPA, but all system exceptions will result in a failed robotic task execution. If you're initiating the task from a process model, you can handle these failures using the output of the Execute Robotic Task smart service and do your error handling accordingly in process.
