There is an option to monitor processes in Power Automate Desktop?
I want to know if process finished success, failed or still running. 
I run processes with Run Application: scripts python 3, bash scripts, console application.
I'm using free Power Automate Desktop.

    To see if a process is done running, I would use environment variables:

     

    For the prerequisite PAD:

    • Set Environment Variable %PrerequisiteProcess% to 'Running'
    • Run Process #Have an OnError Block over the entire process pointed to an Error flow that results in "Set Environment Variable %PrerequisiteProcess% to 'Error'
    • Set Environment Variable %PrerequisiteProcess% to 'Completed'

     

    On dependent process:

    • Label:  Check_Process_Status
    • %Get Environment Variable %PrerequistieProcess%
    • Switch %Prerequisite Process%
      • Case 'Never_Ran'
        • Run Flow_PrequisiteProcess
        • Wait 60
        • Go to Label Check_Process_Status
      • Case 'Running'
        • Wait 60 (or however long you want to wait before attempting to see the status again)
        • Go To Label: Check_Process_Status
      • Case 'Completed'
        • #Continue

     

    Best of Luck!
