Based on feedback, Qlik has changed the way errors are handled in the Qlik Reporting connector for Qlik Automate. The change was rolled out on August 12th, 2025.
The following blocks will be replaced to facilitate the changes:
Get Chart Image
Get Pixel Perfect Report
Get Tabular Report
The functional change of the new blocks centers on error handling. While the old blocks output a simple failed string in case of an error, we wanted to update this output to include the full error object, including the status code and reason.
Additionally, in certain situations, the old blocks would have a successful run even though the output is an error; we updated this behavior so the new blocks will error out in any situation involving an error.
What does this mean for me?
The old blocks were renamed, flagging them as deprecated. Example: Get Chart Image (deprecated)
The new blocks retain the old names and are referenced in the description of the old blocks.
The action needed by Qlik Automate administrators and users is to switch from the (deprecated) blocks to the new ones.
If you have any questions, we're happy to assist. Reply to this blog post or take similar queries to theQlik Application Automation forum.
