What happens if Zendesk returns an error?

The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Zendesk 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 Add Comment to Ticket support batch operations?
