How do you handle errors at each step and prevent duplicate Work Orders in complex workflows?

Hi everyone,
I’m Dheeraj Sudan, a software developer from the UK. My wife, Meenu Hinduja, and I are currently working on a project for a client that involves a multi-step automated workflow in Knack. We’re trying to understand best practices for handling errors at each step of the process while also ensuring that duplicate Work Orders are never created, especially when API calls or external integrations fail or retry.

If anyone has any suggestion kindly suggest.
