Boltic Workflows – Failure Handling (Continue on Failure)

Enhancement

We’re excited to introduce failure handling controls in Boltic Workflows, designed to help you build more resilient and reliable automations.
This update gives you finer control over how your workflows behave when something goes wrong.

What’s New: Continue on Failure

You can now configure workflows to handle node failures gracefully instead of stopping execution entirely.

• New setting: Continue on failure (available in Advanced Options)
• Default: OFF
• When enabled, workflows can continue execution even if a node fails
• Unlocks alternative execution paths for better fault tolerance

‍

How It Works

1. When Enabled

• A failure handle appears on the node
• You can connect a separate path to this failure handle
• If the node fails, execution continues via this new failure path
• Define fallback logic, recovery steps, or alternate flows

2. When Disabled

• Any node failure will stop the entire workflow execution

3. Failure Context

The failure path receives context from the failed node, including:

• error → accessible using activity_name.error

This allows you to:

• Log failures
• Trigger alerts
• Build conditional recovery logic based on failure details

Why This Matters

• Build fault-tolerant workflows that don’t break on minor issues
• Add fallback paths and alternate flows
• Improve production reliability
• Gain greater control over error handling and execution flow
