How does a manually triggered flow work when the device is offline?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 4

We've implemented a simple report location and activity flow, which is manually triggered (button flow), for our field resources.

 

How will the flow respond when triggered if the device (iPhone) is offline (no signal)?

Does it store the information (location, date/time and activity) in memory and send when the device becomes online?

Or will it just provide an error message of some sort?

 

Thanks in advance.

    As i am aware of about MS flow architecture, it does not store anything in device. Your flow trigger communicate to requested services through API connection. If device does not have Internet access, first it will display "connection is offline" and wait for few second to get connection later it will say it can not be triggered.

     

    Hope this helps you.

     

    Thanks
