What is the purpose of using the Throw activity?

The purpose of using the Throw activity in automation workflows is to manually raise an exception. This allows developers to intentionally generate an error condition within their workflows. By raising an exception, you can signal that something has gone wrong and disrupt the normal flow of execution. This can be particularly useful for error handling, as it enables you to control how your workflow responds to specific conditions, allowing for more robust and fault-tolerant designs.

When an exception is thrown, it can be caught further down the execution path using Try-Catch activities, which enables you to perform specific error handling actions or logging. This makes the Throw activity a key component in implementing proper exception management and ensuring that workflows can gracefully handle unexpected situations.
