## Examples

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Incorrect">
    ```ts title="api/models/widget/actions/create.ts" theme={null}
    // missing retries option - Gadget silently defaults to 6 retries
    api.enqueue(api.publish, {});
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Correct">
    ```ts title="api/models/widget/actions/create.ts" theme={null}
    // always set retries explicitly to avoid unexpected retry behavior
    api.enqueue(api.publish, {}, { retries: 0 });
    ```
