Solved: Do action after flow run out

Anonymous · ‎01-31-2020

Hello

As the max run duration for a single flow run is 30 days, is it possible to do action on the end of its life? For example update specific record in sharepoint list to "flow timeout" ?

Thank you

You can't specify an action to run after the 30 day timeout. But if its something like an approval flow then you can put a 29 day timeout on that action and have it do something when that timeout occurs. Do this for the action that is causing the timeout and you can indeed do something when the flow itself is ready to timeout.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Maybe you could try to use Configure run after to update the SharePoint list item when the status of the last action is time out.

Please check this blog and get more details about Configure run after:
