Hi,

Do LSQ provide Automation failure handling? ex – functionality of adding a further action, if a specific action in an Automation fails.

Hi, Dheeraj. If a specific action card fails, the automation will end the execution. Here’s a recommended read, prior to setting up an Automation: Automation Best Practices.
