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

 

Patrick

    Hi,

     

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

    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

    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 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

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