# willFinishRunning()

Provides an opportunity for an action to perform cleanup operations, such as closing windows and deallocating memory.

## Declaration

```swift
func willFinishRunning()
```

## Discussion

Discussion Overridde this method in actions that need to make asynchronous calls. Automator invokes this method when the action is about to complete its run phase.
