Check if user is logged in before running attended flow.

I have a cloud flow that uses an attended desktop flow as part of its process. This cloud flow fails when it cannot reach the desktop flow due to the user's machine not being available (for now it's my machine). 

 

How can I use the cloud flow to check if there is an unlocked user session on the target machine before failing? If the check fails (user is not logged in), I'd send emails to those involved and manually resubmit the cloud flow when logged back in.  

 

This is the error I receive.

"No unlocked user sessions found on the target machine. Cannot execute attended desktop flow."

    Email will be sent when error occurs while running attended flow.
