# Use the GetExecutionStatus component

# Use the GetExecutionStatus
component {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Brazil  
Updated September 10, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Use the GetExecutionStatus component to determine the execution status of a flow or a subflow in Workflow Studio.

## Before you begin

To understand more about flows in Workflow Studio, see [Building flows](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=flows&version=brazil&pubname=brazil-build-workflows&ft:locale=en-US).

Before you use any Flow Designer component, use the Connection Manager to make sure that you're connected to the instance. For more information about how to connect to an instance, see [Connect to an RPA Hub instance from RPA Desktop Design Studio](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/g~y9evypHZUfac7~p~D8og "Connect to an RPA Hub instance in three ways using the Connection Manager so that you can establish a connection between the RPA Desktop Design Studio and ServiceNow RPA Hub instance.").

Role required: none

## About this task

Before you use the GetOutputs component to get the output of a flow, you may want to check the flow's status. When a flow has executed successfully, the execution status is COMPLETE. When the execution status is other than
COMPLETE, the GetOutputs component may not obtain a helpful result.

## Procedure

1. In the Toolbox pane, navigate to ServiceNowFlow Designer.
2. Drag the GetExecutionStatus component to the Design surface.
3. **Optional:** Configure the component properties by using the Properties pane.  
   For example, you can configure the component to include a timeout or a delay before the component executes. For more information about these properties, see [Properties of the Flow Designer components](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/yQT2TbPloZJcW~PfHzLCng "To set the properties of a Flow Designer component, double-click the component and enter the values in the Properties pane.").
4. Connect the data and control ports of the GetExecutionStatus component to the corresponding ports of other components as described in the following table.  
   {#use-rpahub-flowdesigner-getexecutionstatus__table_jnw_jn1_krb__entry__5}

   | Parameter | Description | Data port type | Data type | Required? |
   |-|-|-|-|-|
   | ContextID | Receives a context ID from the InvokeFlow, InvokeSubFlow, or InvokeAction component | Data In | String | Yes |
   | Status | Returns the execution status and passes it to the next component | Data Out | String | Yes |
   [ ]

   {#use-rpahub-flowdesigner-getexecutionstatus__table_jnw_jn1_krb}

   To view the execution status in RPA Desktop Design Studio, right-click the Status field and select Preview Data.
5. **Optional:** To test the component, under the DESIGN tab, click Run.
