I have a big workflow that analyses 40 pieces of related data and draws conclusions from the submissions.
It is triggered when a webhook fires sending across the form data.
Alas, because it’s in depth, I hit the 6 minute limit since it’s about 10 seconds per piece of analysis.
I can store the initial analysis by adding it to a google document then calling it again later to do the final analysis and making it British English.
The question is how do I say in activepieces speak…
“Great workflow 1 is done - please trigger workflow 2 and carry on processing with a couple of important fields to ensure continuity…”
Is this possible?
I don’t want to add in a delay and use the same web hook because I am going to hit the 6 minute buffer again… and there is no way to say if a new file is created in a folder, process it with a new workflow…
Thanks!
I sussed it out. I use webhooks and send HTML at the end.
i’ve split the automation into 20 little pieces and it’s still timing out
I was they are only 90 seconds per stage now, so I just can’t see why it’s timing out.
it’s nowhere near 6 minutes. …
Hi @Colette_Mason
Are yuo using the cloud? The time limit is 10 minutes (600 seconds), also can you screenshot your flow? You should also be able to see when you open the run what is the last step logged (marked as success or fail) can you screenshot one of them?
I fixed it with multiple agents and pushing it to pabbly and back just to really enforce it’s a new segment. I pass all the context through so it doesn’t matter that it’s a fresh session.
(I’m glad I rebuilt it, it can self correct fails and AI Assistant QA issues so it’s been worth it)
Let me get a screen shot of an old one… I’ve rebuilt it all now and it works every time… just took me six months to fix! (used all the automation tools and appscript and kept hitting the same road block)

Here’s the /projects/url for the failed flow:

This is the longest one I made - I split this one up… since this run.
Still it was only a few seconds per step so it should pass… but for some reason it failed on this automation every time at different stages (which made me think this is not considering one workflow as a flow, there must be something cumulative going on)
Working OK now in case anyone was worried about AP.
I am really pleased now I understand how to build these super complicated processing automations… this generates a 7,000 word analysis… it is big.
THIS IS AWESOME! Glad to hear that it works!
