What is the common way to handle TimeOut in powerapps/powerautomate

how to handling TimeOut Messaje?

It's a canvas app that calls a Power Automate Flow, this flow uses a request to an API.

the flow completes it tasks but sometimes is slow so it can't return the response because powerapps closes the connection

and this message is displayed, Is there a way to send a user friendly message?

just to be clear, API's work fine, but sometimes they run slow but powerapps closes the communication.

thanks.

    Hi @PabloRoldan :

    I am afraid that there is no way to solve the timeout problem, but I have an alternative:

    Save the things you want to return to online services such as SharePoint or Dataverse, and then connect to these online services in the Canvas APP to get the running results of Flow.For Example:

    1\My Flow

    2\My App

    vbofengmsft_1-1639623350055.png

     

     

    Because the response is executed first, there will be no timeout. App can obtain the unique identification code, and then use this identification code to search the data that flow was sounded during execution and saved in the SP.

    Best Regards,

    Bof
