Handle Errors in Workflows

Understand when workflow catch blocks run

Steps and evaluators run as Temporal Activities. Temporal applies their configured retry policy before returning a successful result or throwing a final failure to workflow code.

A workflow catch around a step therefore runs only after the step has exhausted its Activity retries. Catching that failure does not disable or bypass the Activity retry policy.

The catch block decides what the workflow does with the final failure:

  • Return a fallback value.
  • Run an alternative step.
  • Record a partial failure and continue.
  • Handle an expected error type.
  • Rethrow the error and fail the workflow.
