What it does

## Resilient REST API Sync Use this workflow when an automation must pull records from a REST API without failing silently. What it demonstrates: bounded retries, a 10-second timeout, required-field validation, and a credential-safe failure record. Run the included JSONPlaceholder demo first. Then follow the production checklist before connecting a real system.

  2. Set Demo Configuration
