About this blueprint

CLI

This flow demonstrates how to use the AllowFailure task to allow a task to fail without blocking downstream tasks.

The AllowFailure task is useful if you don't want to block downstream tasks when a specific task fails.

In this example, the task fail_silently will fail, but the flow will continue to run and the task print_to_console will run.
