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!
