A Degraded Mode Is Better Than Silent Failure

When a connector or Power Automate flow is unavailable, the worst outcome is a screen that appears to have accepted the action.

A degraded mode should make the failure visible, preserve the user’s intent when possible, and provide a next step. It should distinguish “saved,” “queued,” and “not completed.”

The message is part of the business process. A user who believes a notification was sent will act differently from one who knows it is waiting for retry.
