Automated Retry Logic for Error Handling in n8n

This workflow implements a robust retry mechanism in n8n for handling errors during data retrieval or API calls, specifically excluding known errors. It begins with a manual trigger that initiates the process, then attempts an operation (represented as ‘Replace Me’) that may fail. If an error occurs, the workflow checks if it’s a known error (e.g., ‘could not be found’) and either retries the operation up to a specified limit or stops gracefully. The workflow uses sticky notes for documentation, counters for retry attempts, wait nodes to handle delays, and conditional checks to manage flow control. This setup is ideal for scenarios where stable data fetching is critical, and error resilience is required without retrying for certain expected failures.
