Multiple attempts if there's an error

Sometimes on a part of a scenario I’m getting an error, which causes a lot of things to break.
Because it’s not consistent, I’d like to retry that actions multiple times if there’s an error. If there’s still and error after the n’th time, I want it to ignore. If there’s success, simply stop.

I’ve made a flow based on the way I understand the logic but I now see that it’s wrong (filters if there’s an error, if so → repeater /which I’ve hoped was going back a step).

You thoughts?

Hey, you can use the ‘Break’ directive instead of Repeater and Ignore. The ‘Break’ directive creates a record in the incomplete execution folder. It will retry a certain number of times, and if successful, it will stop.

This is wonderful, exactly what I was looking for. Thank you :heart:

Just to make sure I’m setting this up correctly:

(a) Do I need to set up a filter to catch the error before break?
(b) Do I need break to be the last in the flow?

It is set up correctly, there’s no need for a filter setup
