Issue with Outlook activity in Data Pipeline

Hi,

I'm building a pipeline with several activities, and I'm connecting the on-fail path of each of those to a common outlook activity, for error notification. However, I notice that if I connect more than one activity to this outlook activity, and if one of them fails, the pipeline doesn't trigger the outlook activity at all. If I only have one activity connected to it, it runs without any problem. Is this expected or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @GokulP 

 

Yes, it is expected behavior in pipelines. Why bcz, when you are connecting multiple activites to a single downstream actvity such as your outlook activity on Fail condition, it behavious like AND operator not OR type. So, It means that all up stream activites then only you get notification. Please read this accepted solution Solved: Re: Outlook Step for email on Failure didn't activ... - Microsoft Fabric Community It might helps you.

 

As a works arround you can create sepearte pipelines and call tha all pipelines in to Invoke pipeline with sepearte outlook activity. Please read this Solved: Notifications on pipeline error - Microsoft Fabric Community community thread it might helps you.

 

Please let me know if it works for you.

 

Thank you!!
