Hey is there a way to batch replay events in event history?

I’m sorry for any inconvenience, but currently, Pipedream does not support the batch replay of events from the event history. However, you can replay individual events from the event inspector. If you need to replay a large number of events, you might consider writing a script to automate the process using Pipedream’s API. For more details or assistance, please visit https://pipedream.com/support .

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
Sometimes, a… workflow might fail on a certain step because of a transient issue (API limit reached, etc.), and it requires a simple retry to succeed. But sometimes, those retries must be triggered manually rather than automatically (once the transient issue has been resolved by a human).
Replaying the entire event often does not work, because many workflows shouldn't replay earlier steps if they have already completed successfully. Simple example: let's say step 1 is "Add Row to Google Sheet" and step 2 is "Send Slack Message". If the workflow fails on step 2 because of a transient issue with the Slack API, we don't want to replay the entire event and add another (duplicated) row to the Google Sheet. This gets even worse for longer workflows. And if the first step was to send a "Workflow starting" message to Slack, that message would be sent again on the replay (which looks like a bug in Slack).
**Describe the solution you'd like**
What's needed is a "replay failed steps" option here:
**Do you have a workaround?**
No
**Comparable features in other tools?**
Zapier has this feature
