Retry Trigger for Specific Errors and Custom Error States in Workflow UI

[Edoardo]

Hello everyone,

In a workflow, is it possible to trigger a retry only for a specific error on a single task? I want the workflow UI to show a run as failed for both managed and unmanaged errors, but I don't want to trigger the retry for managed errors.

Alternatively, can the workflow UI display a different state, apart from failed/success, to indicate a managed error?  I'm looking for a way to distinguish between these error types visually.

Thanks.

Hi @Edoardo, 

• You can implement custom retry logic directly in your workflow code. For instance, if you encounter a specific error that you want to retry, you can wrap your main workflow function with a conditional check. If the function returns that specific error, you can use the “continue as new” feature to restart the workflow with exponential backoff.
