Generate notification when Power Automate fails to run a Flow for Desktop - power-automate

I have created a flow in Power Automate for Desktop on a server. This flow is scheduled in Power Automate (cloud) to run every hour.
Some times there is an error running the flow on the server side, and I want to get a notification in email each time there is any error.

I tried editing the cloud flow, but there no options for what can be done if it fails.

Is it possible in PowerCenter to get previous workflow_run_id through Web Service HUB?

I know that it is possible to find it manual through Workflow Monitor, but we are developing automatic process.
This process must get information of a several workflow runs (start and finish date-time, status)
I found that with SOAP we could get details about workflow run, but only about current/last or with specific workflow_run_id, but I can't find how to get list of previous workflow_run_id for workflow.

Deployed Heroku app - how to keep a browser instance up and running 24/7?

So I created an earthquake notification app and deployed it to Heroku. This app allows users to input their phone number and have SMS notifications sent to them when an earthquake occurs.
The application works as intended so far, but my problem now is that I am using setInterval() to continuously fetch data from the US Geological API. And so I am trying to figure out how I can keep a browser instance "open" 24/7 so that my application can properly fetch data continuously every second from the US Geological API. Otherwise, data will only be fetched if a user happens to go to my app and obviously that wouldn't ensure continuous 24/7 data fetching.
Any suggestions how I can solve this? I was thinking of using a cron job and running "yarn dev" every second, but that only compiles my next.js app and doesn't open an actual browser instance to fetch data.

running a ruby script online

I've created a simple ruby script to automate my slack tags for employee's via a bot.
I was wondering if there are any services that are available to run this code constantly 24/7, this code loops on it's self and run's every 24 hours.
If your script runs on a web server and can be triggered from the Internet by a http request you can use a web CRON service.
One service that works very well and is also free is cron-job.org.

Windows Universal Platform: Background task to check email

I want to develop an app that has a background task that checks email servers (POP, IMAP, etc) for new email.
From what I can tell of background task, it is only allowed to run for a short time, and can be started only every 15 minutes if it is a timertrigger.
Since I want this app to run on all Windows devices, what is that proper approach to having a background task that can do this? It doesn't seem possible at this point.
But since Windows devices are able to check email in the background, there must be a way. Does anyone have any insights?
What you wish to achieve is a near real time notification of user about a mail he received . You are right that Windows doesn't allow a background task to run at intervals lesser than 15 minutes . What you are looking for is Windows Push Notification Service which can be used to send notifications from your own cloud service onto the device
It is not possible to use a background task working all time to get in real time the new emails in your case.
You must implement another approach may be using your own backend to implement push notifications to send a new notification when a new email is received.
If your provider has an API you can use it.

background process and UI interaction

I am working on an application that is receiving XMPP notifications using the Matrix SDK. As well I am using async web service calls to receive an initial set of data from the server.
Now, I am aware that with Mango I can close the app or move it to the background and have a background task that is able to be run every 30 mins (or so) for 15sec max which obviosuly means the XMPP push isn't going to work in this scenario. Is there any way to get background apps to execute more frequently than this?
Failing that for the syncing process all I can do is every 30 mins use a web service call to get any updates and store into Isolated storage for my app to pick up when it's next run. But I believe I cannot use any UI from a background task so cannot tell the user of updates?
So, if I get an important message can I somehow override the slowness here and force my app to run and inform the user visibly that something has happened and he needs to look at it? Is this where push notifications come in?
You can use the ShellTile API to update the application's tile on the Start screen, or use the ShellToast API to show a toast to the user. Both of these can be configured to launch into a specific part of your application (deep-linking) when tapped.
If you need a constant monitoring/update/notification system for your application when it's not running, then using push notifications is probably the more appropriate approach.
