Auto Retries
Automatically retry failed step executions.
✨ This feature is included in the Business Plan and above. View pricing.
Overview
When auto-retry is enabled on a step, the step automatically retries if the step execution fails. This is useful for ensuring your workflows run successfully when encountering intermittent errors, such as API rate limits.
Auto-retry is available on the following step types:
-
Integrations (e.g. MySQL, Slack, Google Sheets)
If a step with auto-retry enabled fails, Paragon will perform several retries, waiting after each failed execution before performing the next attempt. The timing of retry attempts is as follows:
-
1st retry: around
10 seconds
after initial attempt -
2nd retry: around
20 seconds
after 1st retry -
3rd retry: around
30 seconds
after 2nd retry -
4th retry: around
50 seconds
after 3rd retry -
5th retry: around
80 seconds
after 4th retry
To enable auto-retry for a step, click on the step, scroll to the bottom of the sidebar, and toggle auto-retry.

Note: Enabling auto-retry only retries the specific step, not your entire workflow.
How Auto-Retry works
Deployed Workflows: Paragon attempts to run your step up to five times with an exponential back off. Retried steps appear as “Running” in Task History.
Test Workflow or Test Step: Paragon does not retry step executions.
While auto-retry is enabled, no error emails for the workflow will be sent during the auto-retry window. If Paragon fails to retry the step after the last attempt, we will send you an email indicating the error, and workflow execution in your Task History.
