Do not crash the workflow when a member cannot be removed from a SharePoint Group
Merged
Please do not crash my workflow in the action "Remove user from a SharePoint Group".
It is absolutely wonderful that you return an object that tells me if the removal was successful or not. That is exactly how it should be for every action.
BUT (crying sounds in the background) still the workflow crashes if the user cannot be found! See screenshot.
Please please never let workflows fail for things like this. I am sure you're going to fix this... ;-)

Hi Wouter,
Thanks for your submission.
Our teams have commenced work on Error handling, a feature which will pause instances (instead of Failing them), enabling users to address potential causes for the failure and rerun the failing action.
In this particular scenario, if the failure was because the user didn't exist in the group, you will have an opportunity to add a dummy user, so it can be removed by the workflow, so it can proceed on. If the failure was because SP had a momentary outage, you could rerun the failing action again.
This feature is expected to be released in the next quarter.
Regards,
Kate Huynh
