Desktop flow does not start as a button workflow (unattended robot)

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 14

Hi! I would have asked if anyone would happen to know where the problem is. My situation is as follows:

 

1. Workflow that starts with the start button

2. Next step - Run the desktop workflow unattended (RPA add-on license found and scheduled workflows running)

 

So my problem is when I try to start a workflow with a start button that is run by a separate unattended robot with its own credentials. Connections have been established and the message is:

 

"error": {
    "code""SessionExistsForTheUserWhenUnattended",
    "message""The target machine has a user session (ID: 8, status: Active). An unattended desktop workflow cannot be performed."
 

The target machine should not have user sessions because scheduled workflows are running normally. The start button only has the above problem.

 

I would be very grateful for your help!
