Keep your automations running when GitHub Actions is down

Retry with a growing delay, send failures to an error workflow, and get alerted when runs stop succeeding. In n8n, every node has a Retry On Fail setting; Make has Break error handlers that retry incomplete executions; Zapier can replay failed runs with Autoreplay. Datvero watches the runs of your n8n, Make and Zapier workflows and alerts you when they fail, whatever the cause.

Is GitHub Actions down for everyone or only for me?

The status page lists what GitHub has declared. If it is green and you still see errors, read the error code, retry with a growing delay, and check whether the problem is specific to your account, your region or one integration. A green page does not prove that every request to GitHub Actions succeeds.
