The silent failure is the expensive one. When delivery fails after all retries, the error path alerts your team in Slack and archives the full payload to a Requex inbox so you can replay it later.
Never lose a failed delivery
How this workflow works
1. Inbound webhook
triggerStarts the workflow — from an inbound HTTP request or on a schedule.
2. Deliver downstream
http-resilientHTTP request with retries, backoff, and jitter. ⚠ On success the response body replaces the payload.
3. Tell the team
slackFailure path — runs only when the previous step fails after retries.
Posts a message to a Slack channel via an incoming webhook.
4. Archive failed payload
requex-inboxArchives the current payload into one of your Requex webhooks.
Run it without writing any code
Every step above is a visual node in the Requex workflow builder. Clone this template, fill in your own credentials where a step needs them, and it runs in the cloud — no server, no cron box, no npm install. Webhook-triggered workflows get an always-on URL; scheduled ones run on your cron expression.
