Error Handling

Parameter Name

Description

Throw error & stop

When an error occurs, the action will stop execution.

Retry command

The action retries the command if an error occurs.

Ignore error & continue

The action ignores the error and continues workflow execution.

Variables Produced

This action doesn't produce any variables.

Using Variables in Conditions

You can pass dynamic values from earlier steps into fields such as table name, table ID, view name, view ID, and new view name. If the UI marks a field with {x}, it indicates that the field supports variables. Common patterns include:

  • Storing a table ID from a previous Get Lark Base view step and injecting it here.

  • Building a new view name using a variable (e.g., including a date or iteration counter).

Test variable-driven values to ensure they resolve to valid names or IDs before running at scale.

Notes

  • Prerequisite: You must first connect to Lark Base and have a valid Lark Base object.

  • Use IDs when possible to avoid ambiguity from duplicate or renamed tables/views.

  • Ensure the specified table contains the target view; mismatched table/view references will fail.

  • Confirm you have permission to modify the table/view in Lark Base.

  • Avoid leading/trailing spaces in names; trim inputs if built from variables.

  • If your workflow depends on unique view names, validate uniqueness before renaming.
