Workflow error handling configuration : Global error handler not triggered on query failure?

Workflows

We have a workflow that takes a payload from an incoming REST call, and uses it to trigger several GET and POST queries.

We detected that one of these queries within the workflow was occasionally failing,
so we're trying to get some error reporting implemented using the techniques described here:

Specifically, attaching the 'Global error handler" to a JS block that triggers a reporting query.

This reporting query works when manually triggered, but when I actuate a "real" failure using a bad input payload, it does not trigger the reporting query attached to the "Global error handler" as expected.

So, a few questions:

  1. Do I correctly understand that the "Global error handler" should fire when a GET contained within the workflow fails?

  2. Are there any additional config steps required for the "Global Error Handler,": beyond attaching it to a viable block type as shown in the docs?

  3. Is there another way to add a failure condition handler to a REST query within a workflow?

Thanks for reading, all guidance is appreciated!

@nicholas hope the below notes are still useful, thanks for the questions as I'm sure others could be wondering as well!

  1. The global error handler will always kick off when a block errors out
  2. That's right, shouldn't be extra steps needed, just have to create it!
  3. Can add retries to blocks (screenshot) but no, no other way to handle a rest query erroring out, the workflow will always fail and the error handler will always kick off if it exists
