End schedule after Queue is empty

[Robbert_Sweijen (Robbert)]

Thanks!

So if I understand correctly it is not possible to command the robot to stop if a queue is empty?

You can within your workflow: to have a condition after Get transaction item trItem is nothing and if it’s false to continue with the item processing, if it’s true with a log message activity “No more items to process”.
