Best practice for exiting a PAD automation?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 20

Is there a best practice for stopping a long PAD automation once it's underway? Is it sufficient to click the Stop button in the UI, or is a more formal way of exiting advisable?

    Best practice is to terminate a PAD Automation with a 'Stop Flow' action.  You can end the flow successfully or in an error state and show an error message.
