Restart

Restart a failed Upstash Workflow run from the beginning, discarding previous step results and executing from scratch with the original payload.

The Restart action allows you to re-execute a failed workflow run from the beginning. All previous step results are discarded, and the workflow executes from scratch using the original configuration and initial payload.

This approach is ideal when:

• Previous step results are no longer relevant.
• The failure was caused by corrupted or inconsistent state.
• You need a completely fresh execution with updated or clean data.

You can perform this action programmatically as well:

TypeScript

import { Client } from "@upstash/workflow";

const client = new Client({ token: "<WORKFLOW_TOKEN>" });

await client.dlq.restart({
  dlqId: "dlq-12345",
  retries: 3,
});
