Hi Team

I’m using the Start and wait for an approval action in my flow. I noticed that if nobody responds before the Action Timeout limit, the approval step times out and the entire flow run shows as Failed in the run history.

My question is:

Is this expected behavior for the “Start and wait for an approval” action?
Or should the flow continue if I’ve configured other steps to run after a timeout?
What’s the best practice to handle a timeout so the run isn’t marked as failed (e.g., send a reminder, escalate, or branch logic)

Thanks in advance for your help!
