Tutorial 2: Service Tasks
Call external services (microservices, HTTP APIs, GraphQL, RabbitMQ) from within a workflow. Handle failures and timeouts gracefully.
Concepts Introduced
.Call()— invoke a transport with payload and optional response capture- Address types —
LegacyRabbit,Microservice,Http,Graphql,Rabbit resultKey— store the service response in workflow statewhenFailure/whenTimeout— recovery branchesWorkflowHandledBranchAction.Complete— shorthand for "complete on error"timeoutSeconds— per-step timeout override (default: 1 hour)
Key Points
- Each
Callstep executes synchronously within the workflow - The per-step timeout wraps the entire call including transport-level retries
- Transport timeouts (30s default) control individual attempt duration
- If no failure/timeout handler is defined, the error propagates and the signal pump retries
