Sometimes a task cannot start until a process in Flow is done: a new starter's accounts set up, for example. You can record that on the task.
Add a wait
- Open the task.
- Under Waits for Flow, choose Wait for a run.
- Type the run's name and choose it. The runs offered are those linked to the task's project, or to a node above it.
- To wait for one step instead of the whole run, type the step's name. Leave it empty to wait for the whole run.
- Choose Add.
No runs offered? Launch one from the project's Flows tab first: see Run a Flow process for a project.
What happens
| State | Meaning |
|---|---|
| waiting | The run or step has not finished |
| finished | It has finished, so the task can start |
| run cancelled | The run was cancelled: decide what the task waits for now |
When the state changes, the task's Activity records it, and the person it is assigned to and the person who added it are told.
The cross beside a wait (Stop waiting) removes it.
