# Error Handling and Retries

Errors may occur throughout the workflow due to various factors such as server API issues, connectivity problems, etc. However, we aim to maintain the stability of our workflow and prevent it from breaking and starting over, especially in mission-critical applications.

Such behavior can be configured with error handling capabilities that support retries. This allows us to customize retry settings and ensure that the workflow continues without significant disruption.

This can be easily added in the *Error Handling* tab of the node:

Users can set up the following parameters:

* **Interval** - The number of seconds before the first retry attempt.
* **Max attempts** - The maximum number of retry attempts.
* **Backoff rate** - The multiplier by which the retry interval increases with each attempt.
* **Timeout** - Fails the state if it runs longer than the specified duration.
