Hi!

I'm needing help extending the waiting time for the completetion of a power automate flow. In my app, i'm running a flow that exports a collection to an excel sheet and then opens a new web tab with the excel sheet at sharepoint. The flow works perfectly fine, but when i run it with a collection of more than 100 items (or rows) my app doesn't wait the 5 minutes it takes for the flow to be completed. It shows up the following error:

The flow shows this:

How can i extend the time that the app waits so it doesn't show an error if my flow is slow?

Hi @LautaroLopez ,

Return a value from your Flow (it does not matter what) and set a Variable to this

UpdateContext( { varFlowRun: FlowName.Run( . . . . . ).returnedvalue } )

and it should cause the app to wait the te Flow to finish

Hi @WarrenBelz !

I dont understand where to put that formula. This is the formula of the button that begins the use of the flow. How should i modificate it?

@LautaroLopez ,

I am not sure why you are using Launch() to run a Flow - you would normally (as posted) put the last item of the Flow to respond to Power Apps and then

UpdateContext( { varWhatever: FlowName.Run( . . . . . . ).returnedvalue } )

The returned value can be anything (I suggest Text) - the only purpose is to make Power Apps wait for the Flow to finish before moving onto to whatever code you want to run next.

Hi! @WarrenBelz
I run it with a Launch( ) because the response from the flow is a link to the excel sheet at sharepoint. That link is called "linkauditoriacompleta"

Hi @LautaroLopez ,

OK - then it should wait for the response as it needs it to Launch the item returned. This is what I was talking about when I first responded.
