Production readiness

Production workflow controls

Use these controls when a workflow needs to stay stable after launch, not just pass a happy-path test.

Retry failed API calls

Automatically retry temporary failures before a run is marked as failed.

Handle 429 / rate-limit responses

Pause, back off, and continue the workflow safely when an upstream API throttles requests.

Add fallback branches for missing fields

Route incomplete payloads into a safe branch instead of letting the main scenario break.

Prevent duplicates with lookup-before-create logic

Check whether a record already exists before creating a new one in the destination system.

Use JavaScript to normalize dates, phone numbers, tags, and statuses

Clean and standardize values before mapping them into downstream fields.

Store execution logs for debugging

Keep a trace of what happened in every run so production issues are easier to inspect.

Route failed runs to email or a database

Notify the team or save failures for follow-up when a run cannot complete successfully.

Manually rerun failed executions

Replay a failed run after the issue is fixed without rebuilding the scenario from scratch.

Messaging & bots

Automate WhatsApp Sales with AI Chatbots and Product Data

This Latenode automation allows users to build a WhatsApp chatbot that acts as a sales agent, providing automated responses to customer inquiries. The chatbot is powered by a product catalog vector store and an AI language model, allowing it to understand and respond to user messages in real-time. The workflow involves importing a product brochure, extracting the text, creating a vector store, and using the OpenAI language model and a memory buffer to generate relevant responses to WhatsApp users. The chatbot can handle both text messages and non-text messages, with the latter triggering a standard response. This automation is designed for businesses looking to enhance their customer support and sales efforts through a conversational WhatsApp interface.
