Set maximum execution duration

This setting lets you set a time limit for your Workflow. If the Workflow isn't completed within this timeframe, it will be automatically canceled.

You might need to set a maximum execution duration for a Workflow in two situations:

• When the Workflow includes an “Operator approval” action without a timeout. Setting a maximum execution duration helps prevent a Workflow from pending indefinitely if the recipient doesn't act. However, it's generally better to use an “Operator approval” action with a timeout.
   
• When the Workflow could take a long time to execute due to technical reasons, potentially causing problems.

How to set a maximum execution duration for a Workflow

Step 1

To set a maximum execution duration for a Workflow, choose the relevant Workflow from the “Workflows” page. Then, click “Edit.” 

Step 2

Now, click on the ellipsis “…” and select “Set maximum execution duration”. 

Step 3

A modal window will appear, asking you to input the maximum execution duration for the chosen Workflow. Ensure to click “Save” before closing the window.
