Handling scheduled workflows in akaBot Center

Question: If Workflow-B is waiting for Workflow-A to finish, will Workflow-B start after 1 minute if scheduled?

Answer:

In akaBot Center, when you schedule a workflow, it is marked with a trigger and the status is set to "Pending," creating a task in the Task Table.

The execution of the scheduled task depends on the status of the Agent:

• If the Agent is disconnecting or running another task: The scheduled task will remain in "Pending" status and will not execute until the Agent is available.
• If the Agent is available: The task will execute according to the schedule.

In your example:

• Workflow-B is scheduled to start 1 minute after Workflow-A finishes. The scheduling itself will create a task with a "Pending" status at the specified time.
• If the Agent is busy or not available (e.g., running Workflow-A or another task), Workflow-B will remain in "Pending" status until the Agent is free.
• If the Agent is available, Workflow-B will start as scheduled.

So, Workflow-B will not start exactly 1 minute later if the Agent is busy; it will start once the Agent is available and the scheduled time has passed.
