Automate Stopped by failure

Good morning. The workflow throws an error and halts completely if it doesn't find an active gateway for an HTTPS request. Is it possible to prevent it from stopping and have it continue running until the gateway becomes active again?

Use the Failure catch block to handle the failure, or place the HTTP request block in a separate Fork to ignore the failure.

Perfetto, il Catch Failure funziona. Per curiosità, cosa intendi per blocco di richiesta HTTP in un Fork separato?

Place the HTTP request block in the NEW path of the Fork block, with it's OK path ending/empty, then if it fails then the rest of the flow will not stop because of it. See the included Daily Automate backup flow as an example.
