How to adjust the 3 hour timeout on calling unattended PAD

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by CParsons09 141

We have a cloud flow that is triggered via a webhook, but have noticed that when our automation server (VM) is not responding or offline, it takes 3 hours before the PAD script fails. Does anyone know how to adjust this down to a more reasonable time? If possible, we would like it to timeout after 10 minutes of no response from the server. 

 

Thank you

    Hello @CParsons09 

    Click on meatballs menu on 'Run a flow built with Power Automate for desktop' action invoked in cloud flow>Click on settings. You can adjust the PAD timeout by fill in PT600S for 10 mins(600 seconds)  which will timeout PAD post 10 mins .
