Error Handling

The Draft Block includes robust error handling with automatic retries for:
  • API rate limit exceeded (429 errors)
  • API timeouts (408 errors)

​
FAQ

When Multi-Modal is enabled, the block can process both text and image inputs simultaneously. The AI model analyzes the images and incorporates relevant visual information into the generated document.
Templates provide structured, pre-configured prompts optimized for specific document types. Direct prompt input gives you more flexibility but requires you to craft your own prompting strategy.
The block automatically retries failed attempts with exponential backoff, with delays between 500ms and 5000ms. It handles rate limits and timeouts gracefully while keeping you informed of retry status.
