How to implement an Error-handling mechanism that retries a failed operation with increasing delays

How To

Hi everyone,

Is it possible to have an error-handling mechanism that retries a failed operation with increasing delays. The logic I want to implement is:

Try resending 15 minutes later.
If it fails again, retry 2 hours later.
If it still fails, retry 1 day later.

Thanks

That’s a great idea! I’m sure others would agree that this is a nice feature to have.

You can submit this suggestion to the Idea exchange, underPlatform Ideas and Improvements

Don’t forget to search for it first, just in case someone already suggested it, so that you don’t end up creating a duplicate.

In the meantime, you can schedule a callback with the same data to another scenario with a webhook to retry.

You can have a scenario watch new items and schedule a cron job callback using apps like 0CodeKit that allows you to schedule a “callback” to a URL defined in a “Custom Webhook” trigger in another scenario at the exact time you want
