What happens if Deepgram returns an error?

The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Deepgram returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.

Does Transcribe Audio URL support batch operations?

Run Transcribe Audio URL inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Deepgram's rate limits.
