Configure fault paths in a Salesforce Autolaunched Flow to capture errors from DML and callout elements without surfacing raw fault messages to end users

Verified steps

  1. For every Create Records, Update Records, or HTTP Callout element in the flow, draw a Fault connector to a dedicated error-handling subpath
  2. In the fault path, add an Assignment element to copy {!$Flow.FaultMessage} into a text variable for logging
  3. Add a Create Records element on the fault path to write an Error_Log__c record with the fault message, triggering record Id, and a timestamp
  4. Optionally add a Send Email or Custom Notification element to alert an admin when a fault occurs in production
  5. Connect the fault path to an End element rather than looping back to avoid infinite fault recursion
  6. Test fault paths by temporarily configuring a callout element to point to an invalid endpoint so the fault fires during debug runs
