Failed Digest step leads to '0 people did your thing' notifications

Self-hosted in AWS. I see sometimes that digests fail (unknown cause) but then the subsequent steps will have 0 for the step count. This leads us to have to repeat in every step

{{#if step.total_count}}
   {{step.total_count }} {{pluralize step.total_count "person" "people" }}
 {{ else }}
   One
 {{/if}} person did the thing

{{#if step.total_count}}
   {{step.total_count }} {{pluralize step.total_count "person" "people" }}
 {{ else }}
   One
 {{/if}} person did the thing

Seems repetitive. Is this what everyone else does?

@dmgarland In my view point, this is the correct solution to check the empty digest events

I suppose so... it's just for a digest step, even if it's failed I think we can infer that there was at least one event... not zero... in which case say if the digest failed Novu put in a total_count of 1, then I wouldn't need these if statements in every in-app/email step in every workflow
