This provides resilience against temporary model outages or rate limits. ### How Fallback Works When a model step has fallback configured, the workflow engine will: 1. **Execute the primary model** with its configured parameters 2. **If the primary attempt fails**, automatically execute the fallback model configuration 3. **Mark the step as failed only if both primary and fallback attempts fail** ### Fallback Configuration Add a `fallback` object to any model step in your workflow definition: ```json { "step_id": "generate_image", "type": "model", "model": "flux-dev", "params": { "prompt": "{{inputs.prompt}}", "num_images": 1 }, "fallback": { "enabled": true, "model": "flux-1-1-pro", "params": { "prompt": "{{inputs.prompt}}", "guidance_scale": 7.5 } } } ``` ### Fallback Properties | Property | Type | Description | |----------|------|-------------| | `enabled` | boolean | Enable or disable fallback for this step (default: `true`) | | `model` | string | Alternative AI model identifier to use on failure | | `version` | string | Fallback model version (defaults to primary version when omitted) | | `params` | object | Model-specific parameters for the fallback (supports template variables) | ### Detecting Fallback Usage When a fallback is used, the step's metadata in execution results will include: - `fallback_used: true` - Indicates the step completed using the fallback configuration - `primary_error` - Human-readable description of why the primary attempt failed ### Example Execution Response with Fallback ```json { "step_id": "generate_image", "status": "completed", "output": "https://storage.googleapis.com/uploads/image.png", "metadata": { "model": "flux-1-1-pro", "fallback_used": true, "primary_error": "Primary model flux-dev failed: rate limit exceeded" } } ``` --- ## Unlisted Workflows Versions can be "unlisted" - accessible via direct link but hidden from public listings. **Visibility states:** - **Private** (default): Organization only - **Unlisted**: Accessible via link, hidden from public listings - **Public**: Visible in listings and accessible to everyone **Setting unlisted:** Use `allowed_to_share: true` when creating or updating a version. ```bash # Create unlisted version PUT /workflows/{workflowID}/versions/v1 { "allowed_to_share": true, ... } ``` **Behavior:** - `allowed_to_share: true` → Creates/updates as unlisted - `allowed_to_share: false` → Creates/updates as private - No effect on public versions (never downgraded) version: 1.0.0 x-logo: url: ./logo-white.svg altText: Eachlabs Logo servers: - url: https://workflows.eachlabs.run/api/v1 description: >- Deprecated compatibility production host.
