To ensure reliable performance and prevent indefinite waits, Moveworks enforces strict timeouts on plugin executions. These limits apply to synchronous HTTP actions (the most common type in plugins) and are designed to protect both your users and the platform.

Key Timeout Limits

ScopeTime LimitWhat Happens If Exceeded
Single plugin action step30 secondsLikely timeout – safest target for any individual HTTP request
Determined execution plan45 secondsCertain timeout
Entire request lifecycle160 secondsCertain timeout

Note: A determined execution plan is the sequence of steps the system settles on to fulfill a user request. Multiple plans may be evaluated during processing, but only one is executed

Recommendations

  • Target < 30 seconds per action: Design every synchronous HTTP call to complete well under 30 seconds. This is the most reliable guardrail, even if multiple actions run sequentially within the same step.
  • Use asynchronous patterns when needed: For operations that may exceed 30 seconds, leverage compound actions, which are asynchronous by design.
