# Error handler

The Error Handler allows you to gracefully manage potential errors thrown by a function. It provides a separate output that will only activate if the function it's attached to fails or throws an exception.

This enables you to build a safe, separate logic path to handle error conditions, such as logging the error details to a database or displaying a user-friendly error message on the UI.
