Trying to write a flow where a group of users are asked a question via the flow Bot. Based on Response I want to trigger another set of actions which consist of recording their response in a SharePoint list. I want to set it so if they don't respond within 15 minutes if just ignores them and does nothing.
Currently when I use the flow bot to ask the question the flow stops until all of the users have answered. Is there a way to set a timeout and ignore the users that haven't answered after the 15 min time frame?
Here is what I am doing and where I am getting stuck. I tried setting the timeout option. The problem is that it waits the 15 minutes after sending to just one person and then waits another 15 minutes after each person it sends to if they don't respond. If I use the wait function it just waits for a response and then waits again per the wait function.
Here is s what I'm doing... First, I'm pulling a list of users with a specific tag. Then for each user with that tag I'm posting a choice option to the user as a flow bot. If the user selects yes I'm recording their username to an array, posting their name in a channel, and incrementing a count by 1 to count how many people volunteer. I tried adding the timeout to For each person and the timeout range to the "Post a Choice" but this is where I get stuck with it waiting 15 minutes between notifying each person. I want it to notify everyone with the tag at once. If I take the time out it hangs waiting for a response from everyone. I want it to move forward in the flow whether or not the user responds after 15 minutes. Am I doing this right?
1) In parallel you can use the delay action. You can keep the time 15 minutes. In 15 minutes if they dont answer the question in 15 minutes then just terminate the flow.
2) Second technique could be go to action's setting and set the timeout to 15 minutes
And in the next action, in configure run after change it to above action is successful and timed out.
Hopefully, 1 method works for you. 🙂
