Stop a running process

There could be various circumstances where you might want to cancel the execution of a process. For instance, if the process is taking an excessive amount of time or if it was unintentionally triggered, or if it entered an infinite loop due to the wrong configuration.

You may also want to include a conditional statement in the process that stops its execution based on specific criteria, or if a particular task fails. To do this, use a Decisional action💡

Regardless of the rationale behind terminating the process, this article will provide you with a guide on how to stop a process from running:

A. Stop a process from the Instances - detailed below

B. Stop a process with a Default path in Decisional action

The Instances page is where you will be able to see all the runs for your process that have been completed or are currently running. It will also show the start time, duration, and status of the run.

For any runs that have the status of Running, you will be able to stop the run.

You can access Instances in 2 ways:

Select the instance you want to stop, and press Stop instance.

2. From canvas > go to right sidebar > click Process Instances





Select the instance you want to stop, and press Stop instance.
