# Stop an unattended bot process

# Stop an unattended bot process in RPA Hub {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Australia  
Updated March 12, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Stop the unattended bot process to abort the automation by the selected robot. If robot pool is enabled for a particular bot process, then the execution is stopped for all the robots of the robot pool.

## Before you begin

Start a bot process. For more information, see [Start an unattended bot process in RPA Hub](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/OoEbatLEKhtEsvCB3ii8Qw "Start an unattended bot process in the specified robot machine to execute the automation by the selected robot.").

Verify that the life cycle stage status of the bot process is either in Published, In Maintenance, or Build. For more information, see [Bot Process form in RPA Hub](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/sxq9e8qhznUmwpOhyrBCGQ#bot-process-form "Use the Bot Process form to associate it to the bot process configuration and populate the remaining fields required for a bot process.").

Verify that the life cycle stage status of the assigned robot is In Use and the state of the robot is Busy.

Ensure you are familiar with graceful stop concepts. For more information, see [Using Graceful Stop functionality in RPA Hub](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/CXgZOjXz1wGbgkXXmCLbIw "Graceful Stop functionality provides a capability for robots to exit the automation smoothly. You can define a secure termination point within an automation process. It also enables you to perform clean-up tasks such as closing in-use applications. It is applicable for assigned robots as well as robots in a robot pool.").

To use the Graceful Stop toggle, ensure the Graceful Stop component is used in the selected package version in RPA Desktop Design Studio. Graceful stop is applicable for assigned robots as well as robots in robot pool.

Role required: sn_rpa_fdn.rpa_developer, sn_rpa_fdn.rpa_support_user, sn_rpa_fdn.rpa_business_user, or sn_rpa_fdn.rpa_admin

## About this task

Another way to stop an unattended bot process is via triggering the Stop Process Action in Workflow Studio. For more information, see [Workflow Studio actions and subflow in RPA Hub](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/CYhtRggnMB2Ebn0VIHcrMQ "Two-way integration of actions and subflows in Workflow Studio and RPA Hub for a seamless robot execution.").

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllRobotic Process AutomationRPA Hub Workspace.
2. Select the list icon (![List icon.]()).
3. On the Lists tab, under Build, select Bot Process.
4. To stop the unattended automation, open the bot process.
5. In the form header, select the down arrow in the Start Process button.
6. Select Stop Process.
7. **Optional:** To terminate the bot process gracefully, enable the Graceful Stop toggle switch.
8. Select the robot that is assigned to the current bot process that you want to stop.  
   Note:  
   Only the robots that are assigned to the current bot process and execute the same bot process are displayed.
9. Select Stop Process.
