Workflow is marked as fail on "Run After" timeout Action

Posted on by noearcmon

I want to send an item to approval and wait for 6 hours. If no response is received after that time then I will take the decision to send an email that time has expired and update a sharepoint list item column flag as rejected. I've created a flow that handles the "Run After" Timeout and configured the timeout setting of the Approval Action to PT6H for 6 Hours. But at the end the flow is marked as failed. It is working fine the only thing is that the flow status is failed instead of succeed. I don't want it to be marked as failed.

With the condition after Start and wait for approval , it doesn't allow me to use Terminator control after configure run after so it will not work for me

Hi @noearcmon,

Could you please share a screenshot of your flow's run history?

I agree with @ScottShearer's thought almost. I have made a test on my side and the flow's configuration as below:

The flow works successfully as below:

Best regards,

After you send the rejection email when the approval times out and you update the SharePoint list, you can add a Control-Terminate action and set the status to succeeded. The Terminate action ends the workflow.

I just did a quick test and this technique should solve your problem.
