Feature Request: Continue on Error (Skip Error) in Automation Steps
broosopro
Please consider adding the option to ignore or skip errors in the steps to continue the automation workflow. Sometimes, for example, there is simply slow response from external sources, but the error interrupts the entire workflow.

Really useful request! A 'Continue on Error' or 'Skip Step' option in automations would make workflows much more resilient — especially when dealing with slow external APIs or occasional timeouts that shouldn't kill the whole run.
We've improved automation error handling in v6.100.0, and we added retry handling for failed automation runs in v6.99.0. However, granular step-level error skipping (i.e., ignore this step's failure and proceed) isn't available yet as a discrete setting.
This is a great workflow robustness feature — we'll make sure it's on the roadmap. Add your vote and describe your specific automation setup at taskade.com/create. Follow automation updates at https://taskade.com/changelog and connect at taskade.com/community!

So, essentially introduce error handling for steps.

Do you have examples of this in other automation apps?
