You are implementing a Power Automate cloud flow that submits invoice information using a custom connector action. You observe that the custom connector action sometimes results in an error. You…

A Terminate action set to Cancelled halts the entire flow with a cancelled status but does not conditionally invoke a send email action in response to the failure of a specific preceding step.

A Terminate action set to Failed stops flow execution and marks it as failed, but it terminates the run before any subsequent send email action can execute.

Setting Configure run after to 'has timed out' only triggers the email action when the custom connector action exceeds its execution time limit, not when it returns a general failure error.

The 'Configure run after' setting on a Power Automate action controls its execution condition based on the outcome of the previous step. Setting it to 'has failed' ensures the send email action is triggered exclusively when the custom connector action returns a failure, providing targeted error alerting without affecting the normal successful execution path.

Setting Configure run after to 'is skipped' triggers the action when the preceding step was bypassed due to a conditional branch evaluation, not when it actively threw an error.
