Error Handling

viaSocket is built to keep your workflows stable and efficient — even when something goes wrong. Its smart error-handling system automatically detects, isolates, and manages issues to prevent workflow interruptions.

🔍 Detecting Errors

While your workflow runs, viaSocket actively monitors each step for potential issues such as:

  • Invalid or missing input data

  • Network or connectivity problems

  • API request failures or timeouts

Example:
If a step fails while retrieving data from an external API, viaSocket detects the issue instantly and starts its error-handling process.

⏭️ Skipping Dependent Steps

When an error is found, viaSocket automatically skips the failed step and any steps that depend on its output.
This containment prevents errors from spreading across the workflow.

Result: Only the affected parts are skipped — the rest continues running normally.

🔄 Continuing Independent Steps

Steps that don’t rely on the failed one still execute as planned, allowing your workflow to finish as many actions as possible.

💡Example:
If Step 2 fails but Step 4 is independent, Step 4 will still execute successfully.

Why It Matters

viaSocket’s intelligent error handling helps you:

  • Keep workflows running without full interruptions

  • Automatically contain and isolate step-level issues

  • Maintain reliability and performance

  • Recover gracefully — no manual fixes required
