Action Error Handling

Prev Next

Flows offers a configurable error-handling mechanism for each action except Loops and Branches. This allows users to define how the flow behaves if a step fails:  fail, continue, or split.

Configure error handling by selecting the desired action and clicking this option:

After selecting the option, the error handling window opens:

Retry on Error option includes the following parameters:

  • Max Retries: The maximum number of times the system will attempt to execute the step after an initial failure.

  • Delay Between Retries: The initial wait time before the first retry occurs.

  • Backoff Between Retries: The multiplier that increases the delay for every subsequent attempt.

If Retry on Error is disabled, no further attempts will be made after the initial execution fails.

On Error Behavior offers three configuration options:

  • Stop Workflow: The flow terminates immediately if the step fails.

  • Continue: The flow proceeds to the next step regardless of the failure.

  • Branch into Success/Error Path: Creates two distinct paths based on the step's outcome. These paths can be merged back into a single flow at a later point.
