You create an automated workflow to run in unattended mode. The automation opens the customer relationship management (CRM) application to retrieve a list of unpaid invoices. The machine uses a…

The 'Continue flow run' setting combined with 'Repeat action' instructs Power Automate Desktop to automatically retry the failed action rather than stopping execution, which directly addresses the timing issue where the VPN may not be ready within the first attempt. This retry mechanism keeps attempting the action until the VPN is established and the CRM application opens successfully.

Creating a condition checks a state at a single point in time but does not automatically retry the failed action, so it does not solve intermittent timing failures.

A fixed Wait action introduces an arbitrary delay that may be too short when VPN takes longer than expected, or wasteful when VPN connects quickly, making it an unreliable solution.

Adding the run application action inside an On block error handler can catch the error but does not implement a retry loop that handles the variable VPN connection timing.
