Task Node Wait for Completion at End of Workflow Has No Effect

‘Wait for completion’ has no effect on final task nodes — update or ignore this alert as needed.

When the final node in your workflow is a task with “Wait for completion” enabled, that setting is ignored and has no effect.

This alert lists any such nodes so you can correct the configuration.

The following task node(s) are set to wait for completion on the last node, which has no effect:

Why this happens

• “Wait for completion” only applies when there are downstream nodes to execute.

• If the task is the last step, the workflow ends immediately and nothing waits.

How to resolve

In the Kolleno platform, go to Automation → Workflows and open the affected workflow.

Select the task node listed in the alert.

Then you have 2 options:

  1. If you do NOT need to wait: In the node settings panel, disable 'Wait for task completion before continuing through workflow?'.

  2. If you DO need to wait: add a Node after the task.

Click Save and publish your workflow.

What’s next

After making this change, the alert will clear automatically when you save the workflow. If you prefer to keep the wait setting for documentation purposes, you can safely ignore the alert.
