The Runaway Workflow Problem

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.
