How does Tines handle API retries?

Using event transform action modes

With the HTTP request action, you can use the "retry on status" or the "retries" options available for the action. Select the HTTP request action to set these and click "+ Option". This lets you choose how many times to perform a retry on the HTTP request action if it fails the first time. Leverage the "retry on status" to determine what status codes it should attempt a retry - like 429. 429 is the status code for a service being busy.

By default, Tines will silently attempt a retry, but by leveraging the "retries" field, you are able to give yourself more room for control.
