# Settings

You can control workflow-specific settings in your workflow's Settings:

  1. Visit your workflow
  2. Select the ... menu at the top-right and click Settings:

# Enable Workflow

If you'd like to pause your workflow from executing completely, you can disable it or reenable it here.

# Error Handling

By default, you'll receive notifications when your workflow throws an unhandled error. See the error docs for more detail on these notifications.

You can disable these notifications for your workflow by disabling the Notify me on errors toggle:

# Error Reruns

Customers on the Advanced Plan (opens new window) can automatically retry workflows on errors. If any step in your workflow throws an error, Pipedream will retry the workflow from that failed step, re-rerunning the step up to 8 times over a 10 hour span with an exponential backoff (opens new window) strategy.

On error, the step will export a $summary property that tells you how many times the step has been retried, and an $attempt object with the following properties:

  1. error — All the details of the error the step threw — the error, the stack, etc.
  2. cancel_url — You can call this URL to cancel the retry
  3. rerun_url — You can call this URL to proceed with the execution immediately
  4. resume_ts — An ISO 8601 timestamp that tells you the timestamp of the next retry
Step exports for failed auto-retry

If the step execution succeeds during any retry, the execution will proceed to the next step of the workflow.

If the step fails on all 8 retries, it throws the final error, and you should receive an error notification through your standard notification channel.

# Execution Controls

# Execution Timeout Limit

Workflows have a default execution limit, which defines the time the workflow can run for a single execution until it's timed out.

If your workflow times out, and needs to run for longer than the default limit, you can change that limit here.

# Memory

By default, workflows run with 256MB of memory. If you're processing a lot of data in memory, you might need to raise that limit. Here, you can increase the memory of your workflow up to 10GB.

Pipedream charges credits proportional to your memory configuration. When you modify your memory settings, Pipedream will show you the number of credits you'll be charged per execution. Read more here.

# Concurrency and Throttling

Manage the concurrency and rate at which events from a source trigger your workflow code.

# Attachments

Sometimes, you'll need to reference static files in your workflow, like a CSV. Files uploaded in the Attachments section can be referenced in your workflow under the steps.trigger.context.attachments object.

For example, if you upload a file named test.csv, Pipedream will expose the file path of the uploaded file at steps.trigger.context.attachments["test.csv"]. You can read the contents of the file using fs.readFileSync:

import fs from "fs";

const fileData = fs
  .readFileSync(steps.trigger.context.attachments["test.csv"])
  .toString();
console.log(fileData);
File attachment data

# Limits

Each attachment is limited to 25MB in size. The total size of all attachments within a single workflow cannot exceed 200MB.
