The dlq.resume method resumes one or more workflow runs from the Dead Letter Queue (DLQ) at the point where they previously failed. This allows you to continue execution from the failed step instead of restarting the workflow from the beginning.

Arguments

The first argument specifies which DLQ entries to resume. The optional second argument provides flow control and retry settings.

By DLQ ID

Pass a single DLQ ID or an array of IDs directly:
await client.dlq.resume("dlq-12345");
await client.dlq.resume(["dlq-12345", "dlq-67890"]);

By filters

Pass an object with a filter field:
filter
object
count
number
Maximum number of messages to process per call. Defaults to 100.
cursor
string
A pagination cursor from a previous request.

Resume all

all
boolean
Set to true to resume all DLQ entries.

Options (second argument)

flowControl
object
An optional flow control configuration to limit concurrency and execution rate of resumed workflow runs.See Flow Control for details.
retries
number
Number of retry attempts to apply when resuming the workflow run. Defaults to 3 if not provided.

Response

cursor
string
A pagination cursor. If not returned, all matching entries have been processed.
workflowRuns
object[]

Usage

const { messages } = await client.dlq.list();

const response = await client.dlq.resume(messages[0].dlqId, {
  flowControl: {
    key: "my-flow-control-key",
    parallelism: 10,
  },
  retries: 3,
});
