Describe the problem/error/question
Workflow stops if website error or doesn’t load; processes some leads, then stops, won’t proceed to next lead. Right nodes set to continue on error.
What is the error message (if any)? - it wouldn’t produce error, just says workflow complete.
Workflow stops when…
-
Website has an error and doesn’t load, shows up on google as website unexpectedly closed the connection.
-
Website is live but it might be blocking being scrapped
-
Website is live, scrapped, filled in all rows on google sheets, then deletes the actual created copy and cold email, the rest of the rows are still there though. So the copy pops up for a second, then disappears.
-
Once to the last row without a lead, it either keeps trying to process and then wipes out all the copy created for previous leads. If it does make it to the bottom of the lead list, how do I stop this from happening.
Workflow does works if I refresh, log out and log back in - but only like 3-8 leads get processed at a time. But sometimes it will keep stopping on leads that will process correctly but I have to keep doing this. The loop is set to process 1 lead at a time, and all leads are gathered before to enter into the workflow and showing up on the canvas.
The trouble nodes are…
Extract Page Links - which I have set to continue on error and links as array.
Split extract links - links to split out
Filter pages - json code for links
I tried adding an IF node, for if their are no links for the website and continue on error, right after Extract page links (and then the other 2 nodes as well) and none of it is working.
I’ve added code nodes; done all the AI suggestions and Grok. Nothing seems to be working.
I’d like to process more than 3-8 leads at a time! 
Has anyone had this issue before - what did you do to solve it?
