👥 Human Tasks
Add human interactions to your workflows by assigning specific actions to users or groups. This ensures that workflows can adapt to real-world scenarios where human input is essential.
⏳ Wait Tasks
Bring durability to your workflows by pausing execution for seconds, days, or even years. This feature ensures your workflows can handle long-running processes without breaking.
🛠️ Task Retry and Versioning
Handle task failures gracefully with configurable retry parameters. Plus, test changes safely with versioning, enabling canary or A/B testing before rolling out updates.
