Retry on fail, with a maximum number of attempts and an interval between each attempt | Webhook and OpenAI nodes

Currently, when there is a failure in the webhook via chatbot (whether in the webhook node or in the OpenAI node), if we want to handle this failure, we need to create a structure that may involve a “New choice” node (to check if there is a webhook failure), a variable (optional, if we want to count the number of failures differently for each one), “Wait for response” (for X amount of time), “Sleep,” and “Jump to” nodes to go back to the Webhook or OpenAI node.

When there is a webhook failure, it’s not possible to use a “Jump to” back to the webhook or OpenAI node to avoid an infinite loop, making it mandatory to have a “Wait for response” node in between. But it also wouldn’t be viable to wait for a response without a timeout, because if the contact doesn’t interact, we would never be able to make a new request. And if the person replies and we don’t use a “Sleep” node before the “Jump to,” that branch merges (I admit I’m not entirely sure if this works or not, but I believe it might be a bug — sample video attached).

It would be practical to handle these failures directly in the Webhook or OpenAI nodes with a “Retry on fail” action, with a “Maximum attempts” and “Wait between attempts (ms).”
