We have noticed that there is a special activity in the RPA Studio called “Finally” but can’t seem to figure out what it does and there is no documentation relating to it. Is this a deprecated feature that has not yet been removed?
Hi Ali,
Finally node – will execute steps that you want to execute at the end of a flow.
Forum does not allow me to upload .rpa file. I have emailed you ‘finally node.rpa’ file.

Hi @manpreet_sangha ,
It seems that the Finally node only executes at the end of the flow if the entire flow has been successful. Is this the intended design/behaviour?
I was expecting that the Finally node would allow me to configure clean up actions to be performed regardless of the flow outcome i.e. how you would expect a standard try/except/finally construct to work.

It does, it defines the node(s) to be run after the node(s) connected to the Start Node are run. And it runs only after the successful execution of the primary path, which begins with a Start node, so it won’t execute if exception are raised.
This seems to be implemented a while ago i’m not sure myself about the intention behind why it was implemented this way, but I will do some digging.
