Network error in workflow aborts run

Hello Retool,
I created a workflow with multiple loop steps that makes custom API calls for each entry of a table , for performance resons, i've batched data 100 by 100.

Each runs results în "Network error " and run returns failed before finishing.

I really cannot find where the error comes feom. I checked other threads but I don’t thinks it's a Api limit error like in this case ..

Has anyone had this error with workflows ?

Any help there ? Still trying to investigate but don not know how to fix this for a client . :confused:

Hey @Ecommfox,

I believe I've seen this happen when your batches contain too much data, or run too many concurrent requests.

Try batching the requests in much smaller amounts (5) with higher intervals between batches and retries enabled. Then you can work your way back up towards 100 if it works with much smaller batches.

Generally if you're seeing network errors, there's too much volume being passed through, Though if the above does not fix this, it would be good to see your setup here, and how much data is being passed through in each request.

Cheers,
Isaac

Hey there thanks for your explanations @Isaac-H . I think we will pass less data from each row. If we pass so much data it's because clients want to update all their data . But we eventually run into a limit even batching as much as we can . For example limit of time (15min) for the workflow. What worked until now was 50 to 100 product batch and we have to loop the worflow every 500 items of the table.
