Background workflow

What is a Background workflow?

When something remotely (like an RPA node in Node-RED, or an agent sending an invoke request using a queue message) triggers OpenRPA, by default, it will check if there are any running workflows. If there are, it will reject the message with “go away, I’m busy.” This way, if multiple clients are listening to the same queue, the next one will get it.

Sometimes you can have a workflow that is not using the UI and is safe to run while other workflows are running. Setting Background to true will tell OpenRPA to ignore if this workflow is running when someone remotely wants to start a workflow.
