How to retry another GitHub Action?

[ThePieMonster]

If I have a GitHub Action for deploying content to Azure, how can I retry this deployment step if the deployment fails?

      - uses: nick-fields/retry@v2
        id: retry
        # see https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/actions/reference/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions#jobsjob_idcontinue-on-error
        continue-on-error: true
        with:
          timeout_seconds: 15
          max_attempts: 2
          retry_on: error
          command: node -e 'process.exit(99);'

      - name: 'Deploy to Azure Web App'
        id: deploy-to-webapp
        uses: azure/webapps-deploy@v2
        with:
          app-name: ${{ env.APP_NAME }}
          slot-name: 'Production'
          publish-profile: ${{ secrets.AZUREAPPSERVICE_PUBLISHPROFILE }}
          package: ${{ env.APP_DIR }}

Interested in this too, but for the ad-m/github-push-action action. Needs to retry the entire job because the push could not be retried without the pull and so complete rerun. The Job error can happen on any step, but only the push error must trigger the retry.

This looks promising, but it can't be set to retry based on an output value (e.g., if there's an exit code X retry, but not for Y). The repo here does, but doesn't work with actions.
