Retry / Error Handling

also error handling

Logic that detects failed steps and decides whether to retry, route to an error path, or stop, so automations fail gracefully.

Analogy

Like a delivery service that re-attempts a drop-off and leaves a note instead of just giving up.

Why it matters

Robust retry and error handling keeps automations reliable against transient API failures and rate limits.

In practice

A Make error handler retries a failed HTTP call three times before logging the error.
