Do until loop fails when using timeout

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 14

Hi! I have a Do loop which sends an email with Yes / No options to the user every 30 days. I have a Set variable with String type to record the User selection. I would like the loop to break out when the user selects No or the Send email with options times out after 7 days. If the user selects Yes, the flow should loop back to send email with options after 30 days have passed. 

 

I've tested it and Yes works fine. No also works fine with the loop ending and the rest of the steps being executed. The problem is with the time out. I added an extra emailing step after each Set variable to see what the response is when the user selects No or when it times out and both show that the Set variable is No. Why does the Do until loop not work properly when the Send email with options times out?  The error I  receive is "ActionFailed. An action failed. No dependent actions succeeded.".

    I couldn't figure out how to fix the problem but found a way around it by setting the step after the loop to work when the Do Loop fails. Hopefully this helps someone.
