Email with options / Flow is not executed after a longer period of time. (Timout?)

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 212

Hello everyone,

 

I have a problem.

 

I have a flow in which an e-mail with options is sent. When one of the options is selected, an email is sent. The other option starts an approval.

 

Now I have the problem that if the e-mail with the options remains unanswered for longer, it does not execute the flow. Is there some kind of time-out? How can I work around this?

 

Thank you and best regards

    "Send Email with an Options 2" which is at the start.

    Thank you for your explanation.

     

    In which action should I enter this then?

    I think the problem is that the e-mail is sent but the authorization (options) is only valid for a certain time. Where do I have to change it?

     

    Thank you and best regards

    Timeout option is their

    P1D means that action will be timeout in 1 day

    keep it P1M so that timeout will be 1 month.

     

    If this helps please accept it as solution and hit like😀

    Thank you.

     

    Unfortunately, I can't find the option in the action. I would have to select it in the "Condition" or "apply to each" action, wouldn't I?

    Or do I have to select it in the "Send email with options 2" action? It would work there.

     

    Can you explain exactly where the "error" is or what exactly I can do?

     

    Thank you and best regards

    Hi,

     

    In that action's setting there is an option for Timeout kindly check the time and increase it to match your work.
