The Runaway Workflow Problem
How Unmanaged Workflows Cost You Time and Resources
The Hidden Costs of Poor Workflow Control
Without proper control mechanisms in your automation:
- Workflows continue running after critical failures, wasting computing resources
- Irrelevant or invalid data propagates through the entire system
- Debugging becomes time-consuming without specific error context
- Business processes may complete with compromised data integrity
- Teams waste hours investigating vague error messages
The Stop and Error node elegantly solves these challenges by providing a way to terminate execution at exactly the right moment with meaningful error messages that accelerate troubleshooting and minimize operational disruption.
