Http request error handling, timeouts, retries, dashboard notifications

Hi. My configuration includes several http request API calls that send data to the dashboard. These requests occasionally fail (timeouts, empty payloads, etc) and I haven't found an approach to be able to manage this solely via the UI (without engaging the editor) - i.e. automated retries and status notifications to the dashboard. The default http request node doesn't have timeout/retry functionality and has very limited error notification. I looked at the axios http node, it does have a timeout setting, but it's not useful and otherwise the nodes are the same. Any recommendations?

You can use the catch node in case of an error and then initate a new flow - with notifications and possible retries.
