In **AutomationEdge Process Studio** , exceptions can be handled using multiple approaches depending on the use case.

### ✅ Ways to handle exceptions

**1. Try–Catch Block**

- Use **Try** and **Catch** steps to capture runtime exceptions.

- Place all risk-prone steps inside **Try**.

- Handle errors (logging, notifications, alternative flow) inside **Catch**.

**2. Conditional Checks**

- Use **Decision / If–Else** steps to validate conditions before execution  
(e.g., file exists, record count \> 0, element present).

- Prevents avoidable failures.

**3. Step-level/workflow level Error Handling**

- Configure **On Failure** actions at the step level:

**4. Logging and Alerts**

- Log exception details using **Log Message** or **Write to File** steps.

- Trigger **Email / Notification** steps from the Catch block.
