Hello,

I have created a flow which is as below but as you all can see getting error message in "Respond to the agent" trigger. Error message is "Action 'Respond_to_the_agent' failed: The execution of template action 'Respond_to_the_agent' is failed: the client application timed out waiting for a response from service. This means that workflow took longer to respond than the alloted timeout value. The connection maintained between the client application and service will be closed and client application will get an HTTP status code 504 Gateway Timeout. "

I tried calling "Asynchronous response" by going into setting of Respond to agent trigger but it was throwing an error. Concurrency control also doesn't help and the flow execution is so slow that user has to wait approx 2 min to get the response or will get timeout error.

Connected agent does send the response but there is np way to store that response in a variable and use it. Same goes with child agent.

Can I one tell me how to fix these problems?

Hi @SM-22111655-0,

Your "Execute Agent and wait" action is taking around 110 seconds, which is exceeding the 100-second timeout before you respond to the agent.

try this:

Delete the Delay action – it's wasting 10 seconds for no reason
Move "Execute Agent and wait" AFTER the "Respond to the agent" action – this way you respond immediately, and the child agent runs in the background
Make sure "Asynchronous response" is turned OFF in the Respond to the agent settings (check the Networking tab)

This gets the calling agent a response in under 2 seconds instead of waiting 2 minutes. The child agent keeps running in the background, and you can still capture its output in a variable if needed.

Give this a try and let me know how it goes.
