Best way to pause the flow briefly

taylor

I have a flow that creates a process folder. I don't want the process folder to show who created the process folder. This flow is run in the context of a user, so it is showing that specific users are creating the process folder which I do not want. So I am trying to prompt the user with a form to notify them that they need to log out for the flow to continue and if they agree, have the flow log them out with the Logout Current User step. I am still seeing the process folder get created by the user after logging them out. 

I am wondering what the best way to go about giving Decisions a little extra time to make sure the user is logged out before creating the process folder.

You can use the Delay Next Step step to pause the flow for a few seconds. We would not recommend the Pause Flow step in this situation because it will switch the flow into an asynchronous state for the allocated amount of time and change the runtime context of the flow.
