I have a very simple automation that runs every 15 mins. It finds rows from a table that have data in a specific column and then uses a repeating group to send a slack message to each of the channels listed in those rows it found. 

This typically works 90% of the time but usually a handful of times a day it errors out for Slack API rate limited. Sometimes it errors out with 4 groups that it found but will also error out with 1 group. Experiencing similar issues related to the repeating groups for slack messages. 

 

Any help is appreciated.  

Hey ​@Austin,

Would you mind sharing a screenshot of the error?

Hmm, maybe try adding a ‘Run a Script’ inside the repeating group before the Slack action that’ll add a couple of seconds of delay?  

function delay(seconds) {
const startTime = Date.now()
while (Date.now() - startTime < seconds * 1000)
continue
}

delay(5)

 


I have just received the run script permissions and will give it a try
