Continue flow after button pressed

Posted on by tymarston

Hi there,

I'm very new to power automate and using power automate desktop. Is there a way to stop a flow until I've taken action? I would like to validate something that resulted from previous flows on a webpage before proceeding. I want a message box to appear so that once I've validated the information and taken a specific action on a webpage then the flow continues as normal.

Is there a way to do this? Apologies if this is a basic or obvious question. I appreciate your kindness.

Hi @tymarston

You can use Display message action where you want to pause your workflow, So that until you press OK the further steps will not be executed

There is an action called Display message. It will wait for you to close the message box. You can then also use the %ButtonPressed% variable in a condition to make your flow either continue or stop, depending on what button you pressed in the message box.
