What is Retry Logic?
An automation setting that automatically re-attempts a failed step after a short delay, rather than giving up immediately.
In plain English
Network hiccups, momentarily overloaded APIs, and timing issues cause transient failures that would succeed if tried again moments later. Retry logic handles this by automatically re-running a failed step — often 3 to 5 times with increasing delays between attempts. This dramatically reduces the number of manual interventions needed to keep your automations healthy. Most enterprise-grade automation platforms have retry logic built in, while simpler tools may require you to configure it manually.
