Question

Is there a best practice for how to retry flow runs that crash Our specific use case is for retrying flows that run as ECSTask s on Fargate Spot

Hi Lee you could try creating an automation in the UI which is triggered whenever a run for a particular flow enters a Crashed state The action in response to the trigger would be to run a deployment in this case I think `Infer Deployment` would suffice

Cool thanks Bianca

It looks like this isn t working for us because it doesn t resubmit the flow run with the parameters set

Hmm Maybe using will be the best path forward There s an `on crashed` hook that will execute code in response to the flow run entering a `Crashed` state You could write a hook which calls and pass in the desired parameters to be used for the new flow run

With that being said I think it d be a cool feature request to have automations pass flow run metadata or context to a flow run if the Run Deployment option is selected To my understanding this option isn t available right now I ll raise this to the team
