Configure child flow timeout and fails

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by MarinaPA 70

Currently, when my child flow timeouts it is triggered again and also this happens if it fails. How can I configure my child not to run after a time out or a fail? I have child flow in approvals so it is not ok for me to receive approval request again after 30 days.

    Hi @MarinaPA ,

     

    Click three dot in upper-right of Approval Action and then Settings, change the Retry Policy type to None.

    @v-siky-msft  hi, I need to set this in my parent flow when I call my child flow? And if a child flow times out or is failed it won't be triggered again?
