Re run scheduled workflow after failure , scheduled workflow as a trigger

Question

Hi,

I have a scheduled workflow that i would like to execute everyday from 5am.

The key thing is that if the workflow fails it should re-run (preferably every whatever amount of minutes) and that it doesn't run more after success until the day after again.

Any idea that could work in similar way is valid. At the end what I want is to have this scheduled workflow that works as a trigger for other workflow (but the second workflow should be only executed once per day after being triggered by the first workflow)

Thanks!!

Carlos

Maybe you can refer to this, I'm currently using it.

But there's a small issue - when it's launched, it opens countless command windows in the background, which is annoying. And if there's an error in the workflow that persists, those command windows will stay open forever. I'm primarily trying to address network stability issues, so once the network stabilizes, it should automatically close the error windows and continue with the workflow. Hope this helps.

There is no out of the box way to re-run a failed workflow.

You can create an email event to send a notification if the workflow were to fail. Here is an article on how to do that: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Knowledge-Base/When-workflow-fails-send-an-email-notification-of-workflow-error/ta-p/18326 Unfortunately, there is no built in way to have the workflow/job automatically re run after failure.
